The hard teaching on... No... as something better... makes me consider... Will I be tested...? How will it come...? through sickness...? pain...? mine...? or a loved one's...? What No will I have to receive... as better...?
These are the thoughts that try to rise... and haunt... the ones I fight... the ones that lead me to humbly pray...
And lead [me] not into temptation,
but deliver [me] from the evil one.
Matthew 6:13
Lord... even in this teaching... this epiphany... on receiving Your No with love... do not let the enemy use it to taunt... to steal joy... stir fears... or draw me from You... guard my heart and mind... in Jesus's name...
