“A Prayer During A Detour”

Father, it is not by mistake but by Your design that we experience the detours of life that give us perspective in a way that nothing else does. Help us to persevere in the midst of uncertainty and unfamiliar landscape. May we find joy in the simple pleasures we overlooked when life’s journey was routine and uninterrupted by the surprise bends in the road or difficult detours that bring about delay or a change of plans. May the testing of our faith bring about maturity and give us a new perspective that makes us stronger in our faith and more effective in our witness to those around us. May others see a grateful spirit in us even as we undergo difficulty so that we glorify Your name rather magnify our problems. Amen.
