Letter To The Lord

Lord, today was one of those days that, just when I thought I had things sorted out and under control, my world turned inside out and I felt vulnerable again. It's amazing how quickly a feeling of security can change to one of vulnerability. It just takes a negative remark, or maybe a phone call or even just a wrong look from someone and our switch flicks to the 'off' position. I sat down intending to let my mind ponder over the reasons for the changes to my earlier state of contentment and to have a self-indulgent wallow in the muddy pool of my troubles. 

But Lord, when I sat down, what actually happened shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. My thoughts immediately turned to you. I found the words hope, strength, faith and freedom coming quickly to my rescue. How wonderful, Lord, that you should replace my concerns so speedily with uplifting promises. Lord, I am in awe when I think of what we have when we have you. That you can catch hold of a small glance in your direction and use it to change our whole outlook. Thank you, Lord, that my switch is once again at the 'on' position and that I am fully charged with your words of strength and comfort. Forever in you, Freida Gane.
