A prayer for the one who is tired of starting over (it’s for me, y’all)

When you find yourself searching for a new system, may you know that you are more than your accomplishments. 

When you feel behind at the mere thought of a new year, may you know that he is the one who makes all things new. 

When you look up from your scrolling only to realize you were looking for a new solution to the same old problem, may you resist the urge to berate yourself for wasting so much time—and for having the problem in the first place.

When realize you’ve left your to-do list on the kitchen counter and you’ve tried and forgotten the password for every list-making app in the app store, may you hear his words deep in your spirit saying I love you because I love you.

And may you know that your limits mean only 
that you need an unlimited God, 
one willing to put on limits 
so that you might have unlimited access to his heart. 

empty and expectant

a prayer for the one who feels behind
