Lord,
Recently, I have been very busy. I know that’s no excuse to not spend time with you. School and work and my own selfishness consumes me. I thank you for the two jobs that I have. And thank you for the people I meet at work. They are nice to me. And I haven’t crashed yet even though I have been pushing myself very hard. I know you are the one who’s been giving me all my strength to do these things.
I miss you.
I confess that I’ve been trying to keep myself busy so I can escape all the troubles I have. As I go from place to place, I forget about my problems temporarily as I bury and numb the hurt I have inside. I want to cry. I want to screm out loud. But I know that will not help. I know only you can give me comfort.
Father, be there with me. Help me be strong. Help me with my addictions. Help me with my selfishness. I trust you with my life.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
