Dear God, Just as the waves keep crashing the shore and life throws blow after blow, will continue to stand and fight. Regardless of the circumstances, Your steady hand and nurturing presence are the rocks that will not wither and the base of the foundation for which I stand. Having soared among the eagles at the highest altitudes one day and having crawled across the desert floor another, I look to You faithfully as I prepare for another day under Your watchful eye. Equipped with the faculties You have granted and brought forth I fly over the fire, once again. Blanketed with Your love and protection, victory is mine as the battle rages on. The view is magnificent from this elevation; today, I soar. Dean Gusic January 20, 2022"
