How do I turn to You

Lord, help me to turn to You today, I'm not sure I know how. It feels like the connection has been lost in ... distraction, worry, busyness.  Help me to turn, once again, to You--directly, facing, focused, listening--to find my center again, regain that rootedness, let other things fall away, back into their proper places, of lesser value, or even ...insignificance.  But I'm so likely to be distracted again...

My following, often, is more like...a face-plant, but with one arm feeble reaching upward, waiting for You to grab, and lift. You grabbed, and lifted yesterday, and hope came. Now for the next steps, brushing off, regaining bearings, replanning, and going forward again.

Your touch

So yearning for Your touch, Your closeness today
The depths of my heart have been opened up, exposed to You

God,
What is this new season?
How am I supposed to navigate?

Ah Jesus
It just hurts lots right now
Don't know what to do but cry
