(It has been a while since I last posted...sorry)
Lord you know my heart and the things that make me tired. You know me. Please come close as I learn to listen again. Sometimes I talk so much I forget to listen to what you have for me. Yesterday I got lost on my way home from work as I drove through the suburbs. It was so peaceful though. As I was driving with my windows down and my music up loud you were talking to me through the radio and that still small voice.
Thank you for whispering to me after reading your word yesterday. I know that you are the counter of my days and you have something ahead for me. I get frustrated when I loose sight of you and your plan. This summer I have not always seen you through the clouds hanging around me. Please be the rain that clears the clutter in my vision today. I know that you take us how we are and you make us worthy. You are the refiner. Please show me the details you have for me ahead. You are a God of the big picture, but you also are a God of the details that show us you love us. Thank you for your guiding love, even when we can't see it just ahead because of the clouds lurking around us.
Thank you for giving us grace. You are the planner and provider. Please both of those things to me as I have to make plans and make decisions today. I don't want to move from this uncomfortable cleft of the mountain unless you are coming with me.
Thank you for the sketches of love in life. You pencil in moments of encouragement when we need them.
To the giver of hope
In your holy name,
Amen
