A God who hears me...who carries me...



I personally don't believe that people should wake up before 7:00 am:-) As you can tell, I am not exactly a morning person. We have to catch a flight at 5:45 tomorrow morning....and in short, that means I will pull my mug out of bed at 3 o'clock. I had to do this a few weeks ago to catch a flight and I remember that about the only prayer I could offer at that ridiculous time of "day" was "Lord, so tired. Need help." There were a lot of muddled thoughts behind those five words...but that's about all I could pull out of the ole brain. I love that God hears my prayers and He answers them.....no matter how simple they may be. I know He understands exactly what I mean when my pathetic, muddled and confused mortal brain turns towards Him.

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Rom. 8:26)

I am also thankful that I don't have to face any day alone. Tomorrow won't be a bad day...just a sleepy one. But Jesus cares. Isn't that amazing? He cares enough to hear...He cares enough to carry me...

This tired little girl will trust Him to pick me up and carry me all the way to California tomorrow.
