Dear Lord I feel like seeds sown among the thorns. The worries and demands of life seem to choke and block my life in you.
I try to grow, but so many things get in the way. I try to see, but your light is blocked by the thick leaves that surround me.
How can I be planted in an open field where nothing hinders? Can this exist in our fallen world? How do I increase? How can I grow in you?
I feel stunted, hidden and unproductive. I am surviving, with no crop seeming present.
Loving Daddy God, can you gently rescue me? Can you carefully remove the weeds that surround me so I can feel the sunshine once again and grow tall and strong? Is this season for me to better understand the pressures of life, to grow in compassion for others also choked by life's demands?
Lord you alone can remove the weeds.
You alone can reorder and prune the demands of life.
Lord help me to rest. To look up. To pause and feel the warmth of your love and light. To begin each day under the cover of your care.
Thank you Father that you are one who truly understands life: all that it entails.
Nothing is a surprise to you.
No circumstance a shock or bigger than your grace and power.
Help me to draw deep from your well spring of true life. Help me not to water the weeds of worry, striving, fear and control as they choke what is real, important and truly life-giving.
Thank you Lord that IN YOU I can thrive - weeds or not! Holy Spirit come revive me again!
