Chris' prayer: Matt Maher's "You Know Who I Am"

I carry this cross both day and night
All the way, all the way to Heaven

Hmmm...I guess it never dawned on me that the crosses that I bear now, and the ones that have yet to come, are something that will be with me for all of my earthly life, and perhaps even afterward, until I am reunited with Christ in Heaven. I mean, it makes sense, but I guess I just never thought about it. Perhaps I assumed that someday, even while I'm still on Earth, all of my troubles would be relieved of me and I'd be able to live here in complete peace. I guess that's not gonna happen. (:

...And that is why the first part of the chorus, the coming to God for forgiveness, healing, and strength is important:

So shatter the darkness in my life.
