Dear God,
why am I so up and down?
This week I have tried to get out walking,
and I have,
but today I feel defeated,
lacking energy,
useless….
My Bible reading from Jeremiah
contained the words,
known,
consecrated,
appointed,
I was asked to respond to them….
I do hear those words,
I do accept them,
but I am tired and worn out,
I am burned out,
I know this honesty is too much for some,
I know some think I am being selfish, and lazy,
but there are those who understand,
and I hope you understand,
because I am known,
and you love me even here,
in these depths,
maybe today, that needs to simply be enough
for me.
Amen
