THE GIFT OF EMPTINESS
After being sick for 6 days, I am feeling pretty empty. I have no energy or strength. I have tried to do everything I expect of myself. Bad idea.
I have decided to trust what God is telling me through my body. When I am tired, I lay down and take a nap. When I can’t walk around anymore, I sit and rest. I am still frustrated, but I am learning that the best thing right now is to shut up and listen to God telling me through my body what I can and cannot do and following what I am told.
Prayer: Dear God, help us learn to get out of the way so we can be able to listen and hear what you are trying to tell us. Give us the courage to follow what we hear. Amen
