from my quiet time

God is Faithful

How many times have I tried to get up early

to pray and have either fallen asleep,

or have become distracted by family or Facebook?

So many times that I don’t feel guilty about it anymore.

Because I know that though I’m not faithful, God always is.

If I send my Z’s to heaven I know He’s there still loving me.

If a family member stands before me,

I know that He himself may have sent them my way.

And if I get distracted by Facebook,

I know He’s even there, teaching me, loving me

through my “friends”, or loving them through me.

And when I do have a truly quiet time,

when all my attention is on Him,

He’s faithfully waiting, keeping His promise

to draw close to me as I draw close to Him.

He’s faithful to listen attentively to my prayers and answer them.

He’s faithful to fill me with the Holy Spirit when I ask Him to.

He’s faithful to comfort and strengthen me.

And I always wonder why I haven’t run to Him sooner,

why I let myself be so caught up with this life.

And I ask Him to forgive me for being too in love with the world.

And He’s so faithful that He does.
