Dear Lord, I Can't Do It All! [antikvár]

1. I FEEL LONELYI feel lonely. Lord. It's hard to be a single mom. Sometimes I feel as if I'd like to be a child again, and climb up on Daddy's lap and be cuddled, all safe and protected. Sometimes I miss being married. I want to be held, and loved, and made love to. I miss the closeness, the tenderness, and the warmth of being married.I get up in the mornings and have no one with whom to share my plans for the day. The kids don't really care that I have an important meeting at work that I'm dreading. I want someone to talk with.It seems that some days are more lonely than others. At times the loneliness is just a mild sense of someone missing from my hfe. But on occasion, like today, the pain starts deep inside my empty heart and spreads to mess up my thinking. Today, it seemed that everyone else in the world was a couple. There were two peoplea man and a womanin most of the cars I passed on the freeway. Even in the parking lot, couples were walking to the office together. Everywhere I looked, people seemed to have found partners. I felt rejected and neglected. Today I feel as if I'm never going to be loved again. I am almost convinced that everyone I'll ever care about will walk out on me, and leave me lonelier than ever.Then, right in the middle of my loneliness, I seemed to hear You whisper reassuringly, firmly, "I'm here. I'll never leave you nor forsake you." And I realized that I am never truly alone. You are with me. You genuinely care about my every thought, decision, challenge, and choice. You know me completely and love me still. You are the best friend I'll ever have; the only One I can truly count on to always be there for me.When I experience loneliness and let it lead to self pity.
