Begin My Day, Lord

Pappa God, My Father In Heaven…

I sit before you this morning, waiting for your word, your spark of inspiration, listening to a bird sing its beautiful morning sonnet. The skies are blue, most of the clouds have passed, warm weather on the horizon.

So, why then, Lord, does my soul feel so sad today? Why does it feel like I have a big empty hole inside of me? I look around my home and see the furniture needs dusting, the floors need to be mopped, yet I don’t feel like doing that! I don’t feel like doing anything!

Lord, feelings, and emotions are so real, but they aren’t! They come and go; they are high then low, full to become empty and empty to become full again. Often we can pinpoint where the trouble stems; many times, it’s a bouquet of events or challenges that weigh us down. And yet, there are days when the spirit mourns!

Lord, Covid has affected much more than physical health. It’s affected our society. Once a culture of freedom, we now live behind our doors and masks because strains three, four, and five have evolved.

Nothing and no one is the same, and I find myself within a great struggle. A daily grind, Lord, that I can’t seem to get a grip on! I ask you for wisdom, clarity, insight, and understanding of what, why, and where these feelings come from.

Bring peace into my spirit! Laughter into my heart! Contentment in my soul!

I know I can’t be the only one who has fallen into a slump! I pray for those reading my words as well. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to breathe an air of fresh air through our minds, bodies, and spirits today! I pray for your breath of healing on our land! I pray for your return!

In your Glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray these things with a heart of gratitude and love. Let your sunshine into and on us today! Amen 🙏

Thank you my friends for sharing this prayer with me, I already feel much lighter! Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
