What To Do

So what do you do when you feel like you've pretty much at the end of your rope?

What do you do when you are mentally and physically exhausted, When I can't seem to take another minute, want to kill the dog, run around like Kevin McAllister in Home Alone like a crazy person or simply find a blanket, crawl under, and not come out until next year?

Pray.

And really, it's not always been easy for me. It's supposed to be some grandiose prayer. Or so I think.  But I was reminded today as I offered some counsel to a sweet girl who needed it… That sometimes the most simplest prayers are the ones that gave the biggest impact.

Help. 

Thanks. 

Wow. 

I told her that sometimes just muttering the word over and over again is quite simply enough for God.

Last night when I couldn't take it anymore, and didn't even know how to find one thing to be grateful for, I turned out of my desk chair to see the sun and its final setting moments. I was muttering Help. And got Wow. 

Downright glorious. 

And wildly unexpected for the middle of December. It was there but I found my spot. And it was this morning that I could offer wise advice.

Wow. Help to be sure. And thanks. Indeed.
