It's dark and cold outside.
I lay in my bed.
A million thoughts going through my head.
All I have built with my bare hands
can crumble into the sand in a heartbeat.
Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. (Psalm 39:6)
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 2:11)
I look out the window into the dark, feeling empty inside.
All the time I have wasted in worrying about the things I can't control.
What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? (Ecclesiastes 1:3)
I feel so small and vulnerable. I have nothing to show, I am nothing.
I get on my knees.
My tears roll down my face
I cry from the deepest pit of my heart of hearts.
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.(Acts 17:27)
But I know God likes this.
He likes to see me on my knees, depending, praying, seeching Him,
wanting Him, reaching out in all sincerity like the helpless child that I am.
And thereis a promise...
Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be. (Job 8:7)
I kneel in humility as it dawns.
It dawns inside of me too.
I am empty because things of this world don't fill the need.
Only my Father.
O come, let us worship and bow down - Let us worship him by bowing down; by prostrating ourselves before him (Psalm 95:6)
I am gladly nothing, I am gladly empty if it means that He is everything to me, that He fills me.
Everything without God is dust and fog: vain, empty, fleeting, tasteless and void
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(Ecclesiastes 1:14)
I want,
more than anything just to follow my Father. I want to hold His hand.
I want to be an obedient child and to know He is with me at all times,
then this is comfort. Nothing else comforts me.
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.(Psalm 9:10)
This was a very private prayer I experienced within me when things were looking their darkest not so long ago. But God was never far away.
If you put your life into God's perspective, things that might worry you and seem huge and take up your whole sight might seem very trivial and meaningless. Let God take control.
