Dear God,
Grant that I may find strength in you. I have tasks before me that are exhausting me God. I need you. Now I find myself sad on this Friday night, missing my grown children who are all doing well. Am I selfish to want them near me Dear God? I am missing all of the old days and I am aging, not just by years, but in my body and mind. I can feel it. I am worried for myself. Is that also selfish? I do not know. I am praying always for everyone else and offering my gift of encouragment to them that you gave me. But I am tired O Lord. Please forgive me… I just want to sleep and keep sleeping… I am sorry.
Might you change my mind and my heart by the renewing of your spirt… Thank you,
Amen
