I would rather walk with Christ through the storms and darkness of this wilderness than to walk alone in bright sunlight.  His Presence changes everything.  I see my struggles in the light of the one who stumbled with my cross.  I see my humanity in the light of Christ, who became the Son of Man, son of human, and fully human for me.  Lord, I can do all things with Your nearness and strength.  You have seen me through before and You will do it again.

“If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.” John 12:26 (NASB)
