Thank You Lord!

Thank You Lord
I cried out to You today

Nearly despair
Emotions threatening to take over
Yet ideas came
Simple practical ones
   Eat a healthy meal
   Take a nap
And in the on and off doze of the nap
Ideas came
Inspiration
Resolve
Feet becoming firm
Motivation returning
HOPE returning

Thank you Lord
You really do hear
And come to the rescue
Of those who trust in Your unfailing love
Of those who cry out to You for help

May I keep remembering
Keep crying out to you
I do not need to flounder in the emotions that hit
For whatever reason
I can call out to You
You hear and send help
You restore and strengthen
I praise YOU God
You are my refuge
You are my help
You are my strength!
Thank you!

Back at the beginning

I was thinking what I'm feeling and the prayers I need to cry out are different from what started this blog, but I just read some of them from September 2012 and...some of it is exactly where I am now. For example, positive and excited in the day, losing grip on hope in the evening.

Here I come again...Lord, can I go to sleep now? Please bless my rest. Help me to work hard, clear away the clutter, do what needs to be done, because I choose to.

Is there a spiritual part? Is the enemy having a heyday with my discouragement? I will pray against Him too, in the name of Jesus.

Help me Lord, to find the hope, to find the joy, to figure out what I need to do to get there. Please send the help to lighten the load.

Oh God...
