I feel so drained. I know there's a lot of things to deal with lately... but I felt I had a good morning of prayer today, and spent the majority of the day in a good mood. I began to feel more depressed as I spoke a lot of the things going on with a sister. Finding nothing to say to encourage either one of us, I decided we should pray. Can't say I felt much better afterwards. On top of that, I really just crashed when I came home. It's one thing to feel exhausted but refreshed spiritually. To simultaneously experience both physical exhaustion and spiritual barrenness is something else altogether. Yet I believe God is still urging me to move forward-- not because He is a slave driver who demands work done, but because He is a father who sees His child lingering , and knows there is an enemy prowling about like a roaring lion.

Oh God, it's difficult right now. There are so many doubts, and so many mountains.But Your word says that You are able to do exceeding and abundantly above all that I can ask or even imagine. And I've asked up quite a shopping list. I wait on You to move.
