Hear my cry, O’ God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call you, I call as my
heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Psalm 61: 1-4
I was talking with my wife a few minutes ago and lamented, “I just don’t have anything inspirational to say tonight.” She lovingly looked at me and said, “That’s life... sometimes the well is just dry.”
That describes how I feel tonight. The 3AM and 4AM wake-up calls to put together the fasting booklet and write sermons for the holiday services have taken their toll. Tonight, I’m tired. My head is congested. My throat is sore. My eyes are itchy. I miss my coffee and my chocolate chip cookies. My kids won’t go to bed. And the only thing that seems to be working is my stomach; unfortunately, it is purging itself of 2011’s excesses. Ugh!
I know tomorrow will be better. But tonight, it is what it is.
Be Encouraged,

This is more inspirational than you might think. By the way, this is one of my favorite scripture passages and a good one to end the 2nd day of my fast with. Thanks for posting it. Praying for restorative rest for you tonight -mind, body and spirit.
