Do you hear my prayers?
Do you really know me from the inside out and love me despite my MANY idiosyncrasies?
Why is it so hard to do what I know is so right? Why is it so hard to do what I know will be better for me in the end, but possibly quite painful during the journey? I hunger for that peace I see in so many.....that peace I know I can only get from You! How can I possibly give EVERYTHING in my life to You and release the control I so tightly have on it...or that I think I have? Can I learn to take my problems to You rather than to everyone else in my life? And if so, how do I know the difference between leaning on a friend (instruments You have given us) versus failing to call upon my Father? Why do I care so much what other’s think, when I often forget to stop and ask what You think...or even what my own husband thinks? Why, even as I write this, am I “leaning” the wrong way?
Why am I hurting so bad and why is it over something entirely different than what has plagued my heart for so long?
Why is this one of the most difficult posts I have ever written....why can I not seem to find the words? And why does the following verse keep ringing in my ears:
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” --Philippians 4:13

Just know that you are thought about and prayed for every single day by more people than you know. You are very loved!
Sometimes I wish I had words. But today I don't. So instead I'll just tell you I love you. I'm here for you. I'm praying for you.
