I don't really know who the Joneses are, but I know I'm struggling to keep up with the pace of life right now while I'm dealing with stress, anxiety, some tiredness, not eating correctly, a friend going through suicidal depression, schoolwork demanding so much of my life, a friend going through post-partum depression with her baby still in NICU, trying to keep my sister healthy and sane and away from jerks and evil influences, trying to keep my parents happy, trying to include God in everything, trying to be someone my club is proud of so I can lead our prayer time effectively, trying to lead a group who would rather goof off than do any work, trying to have relationships with distant people, and probably more. Chocolate can only do so much. I'm impressed that I'm staying away from TV to do all this, since I gave it up for lent, but I NEED a stress reliever. I need rest.
God, I am WEARY and I AM BURDENED, and I am coming to you, for the rest only you can give. Help me, because people can me till I fall apart, and I'm falling apart, and trying not to let the rest of the world know. My spirit is willing, by my flesh is weak, and my strength is wearing thin. The warrior is a child, God. Hold that child in your arms while she cries, because she can't hold the tears in anymore.
I love you Father, and I'm yours. Always. Hold me .
