On a hot Saturday afternoon

Drained.  This has been some week.  While I've felt the Lord right by my side every day, I've also felt an enormous pressure.  I yearn for a bit of time with no burdens pushing up against me.  You'd think I had a handle on that with my talent for juggling, but that would be a lie.  My emotions are showing a tiny bit much, and my head is thumping just a tad.

I need to turn off my brain (as I mentioned over here), but easier said than done.

I think partly it's about how God answers a prayer just enough, and not overmuch.  Say you're praying for paying for a bill, and He allows that amount and not a penny over.  Pretty astounding to see Him work, but I still scratch my head like an Israelite saying, "Now that's wonderful, Lord, but how 'bout some more?" Never satisfied.

Or I read the verses about looking to today and not borrowing tomorrow's responsibilities or worries.  So, what do I do?   Yeah, I borrow tomorrow's responsibilities and worries.  I can be so dense.

I'm very thankful for what He's doing, but maybe I'm just tired to boot.
