Hey, God. I know you listen.
Are you listening?
I know, too, that you don't necessarily
answer—at least not right away...
at least not in words that match
my questions and complaints.
But I know you listen. Are you listening?
First, help me always to remember
to thank you: for life, for breath,
for knowledge, for talent.
My worry is those gifts will be wasted
in my inexperienced hands—that I
will not have listened closely enough,
that my preconceived ideas of what you want
and your purpose in my life
will cloud my mind and interfere
with your Spirit's flow.
Forgive me, God. I am so insecure.
My faith hiccups in fits and starts.
Could you once again tell me it will
be all right and that I will be enough?
Thank you God. I know you listen.
Are you listening?

Beautiful and humbling prayer, CJ.
As far as not being enough...I wonder about that ALL the time and finally realized that ANYTHING we do in His name is enough. It could always go further or be more, but it is ALWAYS enough from the standpoint that we did it to glorify HIM.
Beautiful, simple, and so much cutting right down to the core of where we so often live. Thank you so much for this.
Peace
AMEN!
