For When It Is Too Much To Handle
Ask
Psalm 56, making a list of all the emotions the psalmist describes.
Listen
Listen to this choral arrangement of “O let all who thirst, let them come to the water.” Bring your whole thirsty self, remembering that God invites you to come just as you are. God models for us the giving of unconditional love, that we also may learn to make room for others, just as they are.
Pray
God, I need Your loving kindness in this tender place. Come and sit with me as I allow myself to name all that is so hard, all that is so precious and yet so precarious that it makes me afraid. Comfort me. Amen.
