Give Me Patience and Strength to Persevere

What is the purpose of weekends if all I am back for is to slave away? Why do I need to spend 5 days a week away from home working like a mad dog only to return home to work even more?

Here I am sitting at my laptop inspired to work on a project for the church and an overbearing voice in the background tells me "Hello! Start cleaning! You can do all that during your free time!"

When is my free time I wonder?

I am a punching bag for others to let go their stresses and frustrations yet in my moments, whom do I turn to? Who will hear my cry? Lord, I know you're there and I know you hear me. I know you've sent people to hear me too so I do not hold so many burdens in my heart. I just pray that you will give me patience and perseverance in these hours of frustration.

Allow me to be an instrument of peace among those I love. May I not be a stumbling block or a wedge for those who need to make amends and may I have the ability to not take to heart all that is being poured out to me by others in their frustrations.

Back to work.

My Heart Longs for the Lord

Lord, I Need You

My soul is left longing for the Lord every time I sing to Him.....

Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
