Prayer: Thanks, Father, for giving me a multifaceted spirit. Its rough parts will be chipped away by you at death. Bless my spirit to shape its skills and to prepare it for a higher purpose. Thank you for loving me enough to give me suffering, which in the end increases my compassion."The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."--Luke 3:5
