Today is a day when I am sure that I have little to contribute.
No, it's really worse than that.
Today is a day when I am oppressed by the thought that what I have to contribute is no longer needed, wanted, nor valuable.
Yep, it's that kind of day. Know what I mean?
I think I need to read a good murder mystery. Not the gory kind, but the kind that has roots in reality but doesn't hit you over the head with it. (What a ridiculous statement: murder is about as real as it can get. But you know what I mean.)
I think I need to listen to a good sermon (here's hoping that today's worship at the seminary provides that). Or some pastoral care. Or......I'm not sure, but I know I need something. Because today it is difficult to believe......
Perhaps if I go to a quiet place, hunker down and allow the Spirit to move around me, I will discover what I am meant to discover. Perhaps away from all the demands (well, not all the demands. I brought a whole pile of demands along with me to work on this week) I can allow the light room to enter. Perhaps trick or treat with my grandson.
Perhaps if I simply take a nap......
So prayers are sought for today.
Not just for me, but for everyone who seeks the comfort of the Spirit this day.
Everyone who is a bit overwhelmed.
Lost. Sorrowful. Disconnected. Struggling. Cold. Hungry.
Prayers for all of us.
"Lord we cry to you in our distress.
Make haste to help us O Lord."
