Lord, today I ask you to help me accept and appreciate the freedoms I have. I find myself irritable these last couple days, for seemingly no reason at all. I realize I am not able to accomplish things at the speed and efficiency that I had expected, but I am willing to let my expectations GO and just accept your peace, your timing, and your provision. All my basic needs are met, and I cannot think of anything I even want very badly, other than the more long-term goal of being able to have the freedom to drive and visit my children. I thank you for my ability to choose my own tasks each day, and I thank you for the people in my life, allowing me to get plenty of time hanging out with others, plenty of opportunities to help others, and USUALLY enough introvert time to process and learn and grow. I thank you for the abundance of projects I have, mostly digital but also some tangible, non-digital projects as well. I thank you for the health of myself, my Mate, and my children. Lord, you know that what hurts my heart most is the possibility of any of my beloved peeps feeling ALONE and unloved, especially on a day like tomorrow, a holiday that we USED to spend together as a family. You see the ache in my heart, wanting my children to feel loved, and safe, and special. I ask you to give them that because I cannot. Especially my son who is MOST alone. I get choked up about that one the most, and I ask you to touch him, pursue him, make him your own so that he will NEVER be truly alone. Strengthen his heart and give him peace and HOPE, Lord. Amen.
