There are days

LORD, it is so easy to feel weighted down by the trials and problems of this life – even more so it seems, as a widow alone.

No matter if those trials and problems are big, or small.

Even the tiniest of ones often bring big tears, and great distress.

LORD, when the demands are raging against my mind, heart, and time – please, help me cry out to YOU.

And please, show me how to steal away for time with YOU – if only in my heart, mind and spirit.

I need these times alone with YOU to remember that YOU are I AM.

To just breathe and know that YOU have all Power, all Glory.

To center myself again upon the Truth that YOU are Able, and YOU are Proven.

LORD, I cry out to YOU with my prayers and pleas, with my requests.

Offering them to YOU with thanksgiving, and with surrender.

Please, help me look full into the Face of Jesus, so that the things of this world, my life, will grow strangely dim in the Light of YOUR Glory and Grace.

It is enough.

: Exodus 3:14 – God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “say this to the people of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.”

• GOD, YOU are the Great I AM. even in my life. Thank YOU!!!!!

: Psalm 63:2 – So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, beholding Your Power and Glory.

• Here I am to worship YOU . . . here I am to bow down . . . here  I am to say that YOU are my GOD . . . 

: Habakkuk 3:17-19 – Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my Salvation. God, the Lord, is my Strength; He makes my feet like the deer’s; He makes me tread on my high places.

• Even if. YOU are still GOD . . . YOU are still good. This has long been one of my favorite passages – I can’t remember when it first became the cry of my heart. GOD, I love YOU.
