Hey God

Sometimes I get stuck in my own head. I forget about taking a breath and remembering all I have to be thankful for. God provides a lot to me, even when I think He has forgotten or given up on me. He’s given me a life I can love, even when there are hard times. He’s given me happiness, even through the struggles. I’m blessed beyond measure and today is one of those days I needed to take a minute and make it known.

Hey God

God,

I talk to you sometimes. A lot of the time. When I’m sad, when I’m hurt. When I’m confused. When I’m unsure. When I’m questioning. When I’m doubting. I notice I don’t talk a lot when I’m happy and confident and sure of things. But you’re a friend. You listen. You don’t have comments to give or your words to express. You just are quiet and listen. Sometimes I get mad about that. Because sometimes I want you to give me answers. But I get it. It’s all in your time. I don’t know why things are the way they are, but I still believe in you. I believe you’re good and almighty and kind and loving. I believe you’ll bring me out of my darkest times. You’ll help me find my way. I believe in you, God. I believe in your love for me. So stand beside me. Hold me close. Don’t let me go. Because I need you.

Amen.

Waiting

God,

You know I’m waiting. You know I lack patience. You know when and why and how I struggle. Hear the prayers I speak daily. I’m waiting on a sign.

Amen.

Focus on the Good

There are times when I become frustrated by this life. Why can’t it be easier? Why can’t I have all the answers? When will I know where I’m going and how I’m going to get there? I end up with a lot more questions than answers the more I let my mind go. I have to stop myself. I have to realize that life isn’t guaranteed to be easy. I have to understand there is a bigger picture being worked out that I have no clue about it. I have to have faith and hope that it will all come together the way it’s supposed to. And most importantly, I need to just take the time to appreciate what is good in my life. My focus needs to be on the blessings I have and let God handle the rest.
