Lent
February 10
I have a particularly busy and hectic week this week. My
mind is racing, full of to do lists, things left undone, words said, glances
given. It is full of people who need me, people who are expecting things from me, people I do not want to let
down. Fear and anxiety are my daily
bread this week. I cringe to think I am
showing my weakness.
I don’t want to do
that. I can tell you I am human. But I don’t want you to see it.
I must be strong. I
must be good. I must be without
flaw. But must I? It is exhausting. I would rather taste Your goodness. I would rather rest in Your fullness.
Deliver me oh God. I need Your peace. I want to rest no matter what is swirling around me. I want to hear Your voice Lord; the voice
that says, “you are enough and you are human and that is good.”
