So sometimes it gets down to the bare "thank you Lord that I'm still breathing"...

Yeah, me too. Sometimes I feel so rotten or wiped out or generally soured that I end up there too...and then the perspective makes me think that maybe it isn't all so bad, especially since, ultimately, the struggle is temporary (even if it seems interminable. :)

I love this song:

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
(c) Hel­en H. Lem­mel 1922

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.


Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

Refrain

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Refrain
