Today.

LORD, it’s not easy to accept each day as it comes.

Not only the circumstances and situations – but the condition of my body and mind, too.

I know I am to trust YOU, LORD, when I am afraid.

And that I am to trust YOU, LORD, with all my heart.

Leaning not on my own understanding.

And in all my ways, acknowledging YOU . . .

I’m learning.

I hope.

More often than not, it feels like I take 1 step forward, only to take 2 or 3 backwards.

Or that I focus on what is directly in front of me, and before I can say “boo” – I’m off to the right or the left, wandering lost all over again.

My thoughts are more direct and solid than my steps – and even those thoughts aren’t something to be grounded in.

Sigh.

Thank YOU GOD for not turning me away – regardless.

Thank YOU GOD for Loving me more than I am, more than I do.

Thank YOU GOD for always being with me.

I’m sure YOU shake YOUR Head, or roll YOUR Eyes – more than not 😉

GOD, I need YOU . . . more.

So much more.

: Psalm 42:5-6a – Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my Salvation and my God.

• How many times do I ask myself this. LORD, help me to Hope in YOU . . .

: II Corinthians 13:4 – For He was crucified in weakness, but lives by the Power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but in dealing with you we will live with Him by the Power of God.

• Only by YOU . . . O GOD . . . please.

: Jeremiah 31:25 – For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.

• LORD, please. Even today. Thank YOU for YOUR Promise.
