A Morning Prayer

My mind is all wiggly this morning, God. There is much on my heart, and I cannot settle in or focus. Lord, thank you for your presence, even in my distraction. Thank you for hearing all the fragments of my thoughts that are jumping all over like popcorn. Thank you that you know me and love me, and that you feel my longings and hopes.

And He replied…

Do not be anxious. (Matthew 6:24, 31)
Seek me first, and everything else will fall into place.

I hear you. I am with you. And oh, how I love you. More than you can understand right now. I am at work, even in the hard things. Keep trusting me.
Your popcorn thoughts still impact my heart, and I hear you.
Hold my hand. Walk beside me, one step at a time.

You don’t have to carry it all. I am here. Let me carry it.

Where are you looking?
At the circumstances?
At your fears?
At the what-ifs?
Or are you looking at Me?

Perspective changes things. Remember my heart. Remember my power, and what I have done and taken care of in the past. Remember… it’s still me. I have not changed.

Remember my steadfast love and faithfulness.

It’s not wrong to hurt with those who hurt, but don’t forget that I am there, even in the hurts. Remember that I see more than you can.

Thank you, God. I needed that today.
