Rest. Breathe.

Over the years my prayers have changed. Often I find my longings are reduced to simple utterances of dependency on God. 

I need you.

I only want what YOU want.

Give me a hunger for righteousness and remove my fear.

Make me hungry.

Make me brave.

Make me well.

This is my “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness”, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done” prayer. Like a willful child who finally stops wrestling against his father’s embrace, I let go of wanting my own way and surrender into the beauty of God’s good plan.

Rest.

Breathe. 

It’s time to lay down pretense.

I am limited and God is not.

I can stop trying to be perfect.

I can stop doing more than I am able.

I don’t need to look a certain way, or act a certain way or even pray a certain way.

I can just breathe for a moment and know that He is God and He is good.

Selah

All my love,
