Father, I feel dull this morning, perhaps because I’m tired, perhaps because I’ve fallen, perhaps because I’ve allowed myself to get distracted . . . I seem to have a hard time staying focused, my mind just can’t seem to connect, to hold on. . . It’s times like this, when Your presence seems far away, that I need You the most. Reading about Moses this morning. Some of the commentaries seem to believe You were not pleased with his questioning You about Your name and his reluctance to “go” for You . . . yet You choose him anyway.
What is it Lord, that brings You pleasure? I know we/I can not please You without faith – without trusting in You, believing in You, turning towards You with all our heart, mind, strength and soul. I want to please You and there are times when I feel so connected to You, so embraced by You, so much a part of You and You in me . . . but at the moment I just don’t know what I feel. I know our relationship is not based on how I feel - Thank You for that!!! - but I like the feeling.
Okay, I don’t need the feeling, I need the faith to continue, the assurance that no matter what I may “feel” You are faithful and true and that I belong to You – everything else is secondary to that - and of that I am sure!!!
More of You, Lord and less of me.
my heart . too . amen
