My heavenly Father,
It is evening-my dark time and the loneliness creeps in and sometimes darkness. It feels as though I am the only person on the earth that feels this way. No human to talk to and the “ping” of the phone does not erase the pit that I find myself in.
The things that are shining through now are the sins that are evident from the day. Why didn’t I reach out to that person that you put on my heart? Why won’t I forgive that friend that said those mean and hurtful things? Why were those words so easy to say today in traffic? Why did I watch that tv show just because I could not find anything else better to watch? Why didn’t I do what was right in that situation? Please Jesus, forgive me!
Then…a moment of silence….and finally I realize that I am NOT alone.
You, my Abba, are here with me. I just have to let your light shine through the darkness. I allow your arms to envelop me with your protection and rest.
My merciful Savior, I give you all the sins of today, knowing full well, that I will add to the list tomorrow –even sometimes repeating those of today.
You listen, nod your head in agreement and say “sleep well my child. I love you and forgive you once again.”
Thank you gracious Lord, I love you.
Amen.
Patti Davis
