OF DUST AND DIVINE

Holy Father, i am weary and i am weak. there is a swelling in my throat and i'm having trouble differentiating between the pain from screaming rock band songs and the all too familiar feeling of helplessness when i realize i can't navigate this life without You.

to You be all the glory. please take my burden. You've promised that Yours is light in exchange. i long to follow You and know Your ways. i want to be close to Your heart. i want my life to reflect your Lordship and i am disappointed in my own attempts.

i'm beginning, what seems to me, one of the most important stages of my life to date. i want to follow You into the dark, into the unknown. like a small child, i want to stand behind You, hold Your mighty hand, and know that you are God, you are Father, and you are strong. thank You for Your many blessings. i love You with all my heart.

your son,
