As I sit at my computer today looking for words to share I have to admit it, I am exhausted. Lord, I pray, how can I write when my brain feels like mush? How can I function when I am not sleeping that great these days? God loves when we are truthful with Him. No pretending, no grandiose gestures, no super speeches or prayers, just the plain simple truth. Guess what God, (like He doesn’t already know, lol!) ” I’m exhausted!
So today, I reach out in faith because I don’t see it yet, and remind myself of what God says to us. His Word and the truth. Listen up tired body, this is for you!
