I remembered your love again, O God, after reading through one of the devotionals in this notebook. "An invitation to trust".
I forgot that I can come to you trusting that you won't shun me, won't push me aside, won't tell me to "stop talking about your problems and start doing something about them". You'll understand. You have enough love and mercy. You understand. You care. You care about me, about my well being. You care how I feel.
Give me the strength this day that I need to renew my mind. My efforts are so fluctuating. Show your love to me because I need it to carry on. Help me to take your love and give it to myself, and then give to those around me. I need your help each day to discern and see the truth, and then to speak it. "All truth is God's truth", but where is your truth most clearly shown more than in your word? Your word that I do not want to approach.
"Come to me all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
What is my need for thee, O God? That you should be a source of truth to my mind? Is this my "spiritual need" that can be fulfilled by you? What is our heavy load? Why are we weary? What rest will you give to us? What are you talking about? What do your words mean?
