Lord, I don't feel that I have anything to offer now. Inside of me is just but a vast cloud of emptiness. I can hear nothing but the throbbing of sadness in my heart. I feel that I have been swallowed up by the sea of nothingness. I feel empty. I feel nothing. I feel so tired.Lord, I want You to fill me up again. At this time when I feel so tired, even the passion of Your love does not excite me anymore. The promise that You will always be with me cannot spark any enthusiasm in me aanymore.
Lord, I feel so empty. Help me to confront the emptiness I feel right now and make it a blessing which will enable me to put up with my life in a right perspective.
Lord, are You calling me to a deeper reliance on You alone? Are You calling me to be challenged in my spiritual journey so that I will choose where my real tresure is? When I go to bed, i cannot sleep. When I wake up, I feel tired. Lord, lift me up. Show me the right way, show me the right path for my calling. Lord, protect me from discouragement. Protect me from the temptation to give up.
Lord, I feel pain. Physical pain, emotional pain, mental tortures, psychological aches. Lord heal them for me. I cannot heal them myself. Change these pains into joy.
Keep praying, Br. Lawrence. It may indeed be that you are being called to a closer reliance on God. Then again it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder too. The daylight hours are few in north american winters. I'm still here praying for you, my brother.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree to "brDunstan"... one factor is the depressing atmosphere we have... and to much thinking and worriying...
ReplyDelete...everyone is tired too, anyone of us can feel pain, can feel emptiness..everyone of us need HIM to heal us... but dont u ever forget... "kaya yan binigay sau, lahat ng mga pagsubok, all the pain, all the tiring activies kc HE knows na kayang-kaya mo ang lahat, to overcome those negative feelings in u"... GOD is always with u, right besides you..just always talk to Him never to feel tired talking to Him.
