“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
Recently I was reading questions and prayer requests we receive from the visitors to our website, Thoughts about God
http://www.thoughts-about-god.com/.
My heart was heavy with the heartbreaking situations people are facing—terminal illnesses, extreme financial problems, abuse, addiction, poverty, confusion—and I asked the Lord, “How can I pray for them? How can I give them hope?’
Instantly He brought this song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither came to mind http://www.gaither.com/shop/myhomecats.php
Something beautiful, something good
All my confusion He understood
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife
But he made something beautiful of my life.
He reminded me that He is totally able to take a tangled messed up life, a confusing situation, a seemingly hopeless relationship and make something beautiful out of it. He is loving and He is all-powerful.
All we have to do is offer Him our brokenness and He takes what we offer Him and makes something good, something beautiful out of it. Nothing is too hard for Him.
Father, thank you, thank you for taking our sorrow, our confusion, our messed up lives and loving us, forgiving us and healing us and strengthening us and guiding us. We love you! Amen .

Thank you so much for these messeges everyday. At first I thought I would never forgive my unfaithful husband but your words have really helped me and the grudge I had is no moer. I feel enlightened
Thank you
This reminds me of a different song, “Holiness” is what I long for,
Take my life and transform it,take my life and conform it.
O Lord, O Lord.
An awesome prayer from a person who used by the Lord. Thank you..
He had made something beautiful in my life, after he appeared in my dream hugging someone whom was despised by man. It was more beautiful when he had joined me with friends and dance with me. He was explaining to me of all my confusions, my brokenness and strife as a person chosen by him and persecuted by the world. Thank you Lord Jesus for making my world beautiful. Amen.

All that we have to do is to love our Father in heaven. All that come into our lives are for Him to solve and deliver us so that we, His dear children, will enjoy His peace and happiness.
That is what is His will for us.
Thanks for this encouraging devotional. God bless you.
