How can I "get it together" Lord
Jesus...
I'm crying out for Your help
Again today
Thought it was going okay
Thought I was set for a good day
Then...this flood of emotions
Where did that come from?
What do I do with it?
Tired
Disappointed
That's one part
Another part
Resistance
To this life that is mine
This life I chose
But parts of it
I don't want
So I balk
Or...
Parts of it
I don't manage well
And when the consequences hit
I lose it
I...
Need
Something
But I don't know what
Jesus...
I run to You

I seek Your face
God, how I need You as I try to figure out how to go forward.
The first thing I "cry out" to You about, is that You would guide this "crying out" day.
Thank You, You have already started to...
You led me, to set this day aside, to stay away from people mostly--more solitude.
And yet that one "spiritual conversation" previously scheduled, still happened, and in that conversation, I was reminded, of the different things to bring to You today.
Thank You.
I need to talk to You today...

I need to talk to You today...
- About my fears--What are they? What are they really? How am I supposed to push through them?
- About the order of my life, my work, this task, and the path forward--please, bring it from "overwhelming" to "ordered" and a "sense of direction" or "steps to take."
- About some of the people in my life--the relationships--the frustration and confusion there.
- About how to stay reminded of Your love for me.

Longing for a different world
Jesus, today I'm longing for a different world
Is the world and kingdom You're eventually taking us to
The same as the one I imagine
Will all the things I long to be rid of
Finally, actually, be gone
Or will life be just as confusing there
Will we finally know what people are saying
And have a sense of truly belonging
Not being so alone
Or will it be more of the same?
