Currently I feel submerged in the cares of this life. Submerged in work, submerged in teaching, submerged in planning, submerged in creating and seeking to bless others. I somehow wish there were 30 hours in a day but that I still only needed 6-8 hours of sleep. It seems every year when the time changes, I hit a slump. Perhaps its because by 7 PM its dark and I still feel there is so much to be done. Perhaps it is due to the holidays getting ever closer and feeling once again unprepared and not ready for it yet.
Ps. 65:3, Ps. 78:53, Ezk 3:15, Luke 1:57
Father, I need your hand. I need you to pick me up out of these sinking waves. You are my mighty fortress and a help in time of need. Please be near to me. Draw me close to you. Shelter me from the storms that so easily overwhelm me.
