Hard to get started. Hard to get things done. Hard to stay on top of things.
Lord, I know I need to settle more. Listen more. Process more. Pray more.
I have been feeling overwhelmed recently. Maybe I’ve overcommitted. I feel like I have been getting dry. Like a flower drooped over.
Where is my creativity, my energy, Lord?
Renew me. Refresh me. Refill me. Restore me.
Living Water, I come to you thirsty. Please quench the longings of my heart. And please flow me through me. I’ll be the straw. That’s all. Your conduit.
But for that to happen, I must allow myself to be led to green pastures and quiet waters. Lead me there, Shepherd of my heart. In your Word, by your Spirit, I am quiet, waiting.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. (Proverbs 51:12)
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty. (Jeremiah 15:16)
You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. (Acts 2:28)
