There are days when my prayers sound like:

“Lord. I cannot do this. You expect too much from me, I am incapable. My heart is incapable. I cannot feel this without losing a piece of you, without allowing evil to enter my spirit. I do not know how to hold these feelings inside anymore. I need you to help me.”

then there are days (like today) that my prayers sound like this…

“Lord, thank you. For calming my heart and clearing my eyes, I thank you. You’ve lifted my spirit and from this altitude I can see the many blessings you’ve given me, I can find respite in the peace and quiet of knowing you are with me. I love you.”
