Dear God,
I wonder what it's like to be comfortable. In church, in my family, in therapy, in doctors treatment, in small group, in relationships, etc.
What does being comfortable mean? Here are some descriptive words that might help: contented, cheerful, easy, at rest, relaxed, untroubled, healthy, soothed, relieved, strengthened, restored, snug, cozy, warm, sheltered, protected, cared for, appropriate, spacious and restful.
Sounds like bliss, doesn't it? As I read those words I can better understand "comfortable" comes with many faces. Lord, how do I find comfort in you? Do I daily practice disciplines that will draw me closer to You?
I'm hoping daily journaling, praying and reading will show me more about who You are rather than who I make You out to be. I have a long road ahead of me, Father. I know your rod and staff will draw comfort whether You are lovingly guiding me or gently disciplining me.
You are not an abuser like my Dad and others who hurt me.
You are neither male nor female - You act as One.
You are I AM.
I submit my morning to You. May Alicia and I be blessed by our time together for her Alicia Day!
I love you, Father.
As best as any broken kid can.
