Lord,
These letters continue. And they continue because I’m a human wholly in need of You. I need You to be at the center of who I am. I don’t like who I am without You. I’m a selfish and impatient sort who wants what others have. With You, You remind me that I am not what I feel. You remind me to trust You even if I don’t understand why. You remind me not to ask why. Why leads to a resentment I can’t carry. These past few days have been exhausting. My body has needed rest. It demanded it. Physically I have resisted rest. Mentally, I’ve done the same. God stepped in once again. For the first time, the whole of me let rest call the shots. The best decision ever.
Pray that
I may trust
You
To be
The anchor
That holds
My feet
Firmly rooted
Planted
So I can bloom
When ready
Pray for me. Trying to rid myself of worldly desires is harder than I thought. Thank you
You have my prayers and sincere best wishes this week Regine! :D
ReplyDeleteI believe that's a life long prayer for all of us!

ReplyDeleteWe are all frail human beings with earthly desires. Only God can turn our focus to Him instead. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all the responses here written by Christian women. And I was so glad to read your blog again.
ReplyDelete...I wish you a fabulous week, be well.

ReplyDeleteDifficult times are the best of times. They are where we learn to trust in God, to let go and let Him. It is where the beauty within comes through. God Bless and keep you safe.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
A heartfelt prayer, Regine!
ReplyDeleteIt is sometimes hard not to ask why we are going through what we are, I am dealing with a few physical problems and I ask why but in the end know that God wants only the best for me and is by my side throughout it all, praying he brings comfort and strength to you in the days ahead!
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteI pray you find the rest and the answers you seek. Amen.
ReplyDeletePraying for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.

ReplyDeleteRegime there is an hymn called My Anchor Holds that you can find on YouTube. It's a beautiful song that helps me to remember nor matter how bad things get in my life Jesus is my Anchor and He will be their for me.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone. We often ask, "why?" at certain times in our lives. But we have to trust that all things out.
ReplyDelete~Romans 8:28
Have a blessed week, dear Regine.
