Are You busy? I need to talk.

I HEAR YOU WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO ME.

I screamed at my kids today. I really lost it, and I'm not even sure why.

ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF MY GLORY.

I wish I could just get it together.

COME NEAR TO ME AND I WILL COME NEAR TO YOU.

But I pray every day! Nothing seems to change. What did You even choose me to belong to you?

I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU A HOPE AND A FUTURE.

It doesn't feel that way right now.

THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE HEAVENS.

A time to be a terrible mom? That doesn't make any sense.

TRUST ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART, DON'T LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.

In time? How much time?

BE STILL AND WAIT PATIENTLY. I WILL WORK ALL THINGS OUT FOR YOUR GOOD BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.

I just wish I could understand the point of it all.

MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS AND MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS.

Yeah, that's for sure. So, what should I do now?

REPENT AND TURN TO ME SO THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE WIPED OUT.

I am sorry for losing my temper. How can I do better next time?

LOOK TO ME AND SEEK MY STRENGTH. ALWAYS SEEK MY FACE.

I'm trying. Now what?

JUST ASK, AND I WILL GIVE TO YOU WITHOUT FINDING FAULT.

I need more wisdom, more faith, more love, more kindness, more patience.

I GIVE STRENGTH TO THE WEARY AND POWER TO THE WEAK.

I want to believe that.I just get scared sometimes.

I WILL TAKE HOLD OF YOUR RIGHT HAND. I WILL HELP YOU.

Life is so hard. I don't know if I can do it anymore.

I WILL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, THE RIVERS AND THE FLAMES.

I just wish I could be sure that You love me. I don't feel very lovable most of the time.

EVEN IF THE MOUNTAINS ARE SHAKEN AND THE HILLS ARE MOVED, I WILL NEVER REMOVE MY UNFAILING LOVE FROM YOU.

So, You're never going to leave me?

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. I WILL BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

Thanks for listening. I feel better now. Ttyl.
