I’m ready, Lord, to throw in the towel.
You know how caregiving
weighs on my soul.
You know how often I try to
provide the cure and
not just the care.
You know how I enter hyper-super-warp
speed overthinking of every detail
when disaster strikes.
Help me to remember that
you have me covered
with your mighty
wings.
You stand ready,
waiting for me to say,
“Do, Lord, do it all!”
You wait for me to relinquish my
spot as superhero (I never really had
it to begin with), supermom (I have no
claim to that one either) and superChristian
(nope, that one doesn’t apply, either)
I can’t solve the world’s problems.
I can’t solve my students’ problems.
I can’t solve my friends’ problems.
I can’t solve my family’s problems.
I can’t even solve my own problems.
I’m ready, Lord. So I’ll stand still
and stretch out my limbs and
luxuriate in the assurance that
I’m under your wings.
I’m joining Kate Motaung and other brave bloggers for Five-Minute Friday. You can find the details and join us by clicking here!
