God's definition of life going well is unique, distinct, almost eccentric. His definition of wellness is not about health, finances, or job security. It's not about unfailing protection from the vagaries and dangers of a broken world. It's not about life being fair. It's about acceptance. It's about God accepting us as His own, the one He loves.
--Mark Buchanan, Your God is Too Safe (Multnomah Publishers)

Lord,
Please hear my prayer--
A prayer of confession and need,
for I grow weary of life's battles.
I long for safety and protection.
I internalize the unfairness around me.
I envy those whose lives seem perfect.
And I sometimes consider myself
a victim without voice
a pawn of evil forces
a struggler with no resolution in sight.

You know, O Lord, of our turmoils,
of detoured routing along the roads we travel.
You know of our desire for calm, and predictability,
and control of our own destinies.

We know, O Lord, of our limitations,
of skewed vision that zooms in on troubles
while overlooking the goodness
that also pervades our journey.

Like those who have gone before us,
who wrestled with unfair circumstances
who cried out to You- in dark, lonely times
So also we call out and earnestly ask for the measure
of strength, hope, and love that
can only come from You,
The One who knows us, loves us, sustains us,
and brings us hope and joy in spite of the unfairness
that permeates our days.
--Virgil Fry
