all i know

Thank you for these times when I’m really tired, i find my rest in You.

And I can find You anywhere.

our eyes are on You

Oh Lord, I don’t know where to look. I don’t even want to open my eyes because I’ll see this… this horror, this inhumanity, this… I don’t know what to call it anymore. I just can’t wrap my mind around it.

Where are we going from here? Where are you taking us? We need You more than ever, when the people who are supposed to be in charge are failing.

Lord, my God, I know You’re here somewhere. I need to see You. We need to see you.

Let Your justice and righteousness reign, O God. We will wait on You.

“… we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
2 Chronicles 20:12

as i lay me down to sleep…

Whenever I catch a glimpse of the past in the light of the present, I cannot help but be grateful for how far You have taken me. Yes, there were some kicking and screaming episodes– even during those times when I should know better already. I’m glad you didn’t let me run away and let me learn that sometimes it’s braver to just stay.

And You’re here, with me. And I feel that awesome security of having You near.

I love you. You never let me go.
