Dear God, tasks weigh on me as burdens placed on an already-full cart. I feel scrutinized and stretched, unsupported. Lord, let me find strength in you. Let me see my own circumstance through clear eyes and not through a haze of self-pity.
Instead, Lord, let me find a way to see your hand in all things, even those things that try my strength and attitude.
Let me act with love today. Let me so act even in the face of trial and challenge.
(Letter #1357)
