The Lord is my shepherd. I am never in need. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside peaceful waters. -Psalm 23:1-2 (God's Word Translation)
Dad & Shepherd,
Thank You. I love you, and today I choose to honor Your request for me to come to You and allow You to give me rest! Just when I'm drawing near my wits end You call for me to lay at Your feet, Your peaceful waters. I appreciate You, if it were not for You I would certainly have burned out trying to handle everything on my own. Thank You for not making me responsible for handling every issue that arises in my life. It's ironic that one day I'll look back on the things that I think are such a big deal and laugh at how insignificant they really are, and yet, knowing this I still can't seem to shake certain worries. But from this day forward I declare that it will change! As I lye down with You I pray that You would show me exactly how to let things go. How to let people go, and move on. Show me what to do with hurt and disappointment (or rather what not to do with it) and how exactly relax and let You heal me. Mender of broken hearts, that's only one of Your many names, and with You as my Source I need not look to anyone (or anything) else to keep me sustained. Thank You again, I love You and I'm so glad You never leave me! With all honor and reverence through Christ the Lord I pray...
Amen
