I thought I'd share with you something that I came across while reading a devotional book. One particular chapter speaks about the importance of spending time alone with God, reading and meditating on His word and praying to Him. This time can be called "the great exchange," because, in it I exchange...

my weariness for His strengh,

my weakness for His power,

my darkness for His light,

my problems for for his sloutions,

my burdens for His freedom,

my frustrations for His peace,

my turmoil for His calm,

my hopes for His promises,

my afflictions for His balm of comfort,

my questions for His answers,

my confusion for His knowledge,

my doubt for His assurance,
my nothingness for His awesomeness,
the temporal for the eternal,and
the impossible for the possible!
