I am grateful to God that He strips stuff away from us and it forces us to turn to Him. It is not fun, but necessary because we often to turn to people and things instead of Him.
He is loving end very generous to allow us to know Him during this process.

Psalm 67
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

The Bible in Verse
"The Bible in Verse" is a book which a friend introduced me to in College. Alvy Ford was born in 1918 and grew up as a farmer. During WWII, he became blind due to an accidental explosion of a hand grenade while serving in Okinawa.
God began to change his life. While attending Bible school as a blind student, he needed help remembering the main points for a test on the book of Daniel. He summarized each chapter into four simple lines of rhyming verse. This proved so helpful that he decided to do the same for every chapter of the Bible, which took him four months to complete.
Now, while this is no substitution for scripture itself, it is very inspiring and I would like to share a chapter with you.
Psalms 25
"Unto You, Lord, do I lift up my soul;
Help me, oh Lord, to arrive at my goal.
Teach me Your path, Lord, and show me Your way
Surely for guidance, I wait every day."
I truly enjoy this book and if you are interested in getting one, you can find it on amazon or target's website.

A Prayer for the Ephesians and Us
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work withn us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:16-21
