"Pour out our hearts to him"

“Pour out our hearts to him”

So… every day I have about 7 or 8 Christian emails come to me, verses, wisdom, readings…you know. I read all of them. Some reach and speak to me for that day, some just don’t apply.  Whatever speaks to me I add to my blog and keep on my desktop at work for me to remember and think and pray about for the day.

Well today all I got was 6 words. 8 emails and 6 lousy words.(above) Wow. I was feeling kinda let down. I’ve had a bad couple of days and could use a lot of encouragement. Then I re-read those 6 words. Duh. I have been having bad days because I insist on sucking it up. I don’t tell God my burdens. I feel like I am being petty whining about what aches and pains I have( ok migraines), How I get my feelings hurt by my hubby or kids( ok I suffer dark depression and am over sensitive by nature). How I worry about paying my bills. ( I have no idea how I’m gonna heat the house this winter) I consider this all my problem, not God’s.

WRONGO!!! How could I be so human? God wants my burdens, he’s my Father, my one and only. Of course he wants my burdens. He’s not gonna cure my migraines, fix my family or pay my bills, but I know he will comfort me and give me the wisdom and most importantly the faith to continue in spite of what life throws at me.

I try to bless God when bad times comes because that’s what I am taught but how can I let go of the burden without sharing with God first.

So here is my prayer today:

God my Father, I am pathetic indeed but you have found me worthy to love. I can only love you with my earthly limits but my heart bursts for you. I know you can and will help me. Praise you for your mercy, sacrifice and love.

 

Now I better get to work and pay the bills.
