Thank you and a prayer

God,

Thank You so much for Your unbelievable goodness. Even in my overwhelmed and constricting mind, You do not cease to amaze me. You let your presence be known through Your beauty, quietly telling me, "I'm here, I'm here." Even the breeze through the leaves, the sunshine reflecting off the water, and the people You've given me to speak with, I feel You here with me. "Thank you" does not seem to express the gratitude I have for your kindness and love. How do you know all these things about me? Why do you give me wonderful things when what I've done is despicable? That's right... you're God. My loving, never-failing, powerful, awesome God.

I am going through such a hard time right now, God. I need your help. I can't do this on my own. There's too much to do and no time to do it. I have not been able to enjoy myself. I have not been able to love on you as much as I've wanted to. All the reading, the writing, the contemplating, the interviewing, the incessant worrying about internships, jobs, grades, relationships, I can't take much more. Please help me get through it if there cannot be a break. Jesus I need You. You said that whenever we call on Your name You will come to our rescue. I need Your rescue. I'm Your damsel in distress. You're my Knight in shining armor. I'm waiting, I'm praying, I'm willing to go where You take me. Please come to my rescue soon. I love you.

Shaye.
