Desperate To Remember

I almost didn't write at all today. I wanted to write and in a way knew I needed to write. I just didn't want to. I came home, worked in my backyard, talked to my mom on the phone, had dinner with my roommates and then was about to pull out the computer, but went to lay in my bed instead. And that is where I am right now. Typing this out on my phone, desperately trying to keep my eyes open.

Desperate. That's a word that has been showing up all around me lately. It means to "have an urgent need or desire." But, there is another definition that stood out to me. It said desperate was something "reckless or dangerous because of despair, hopelessness, or urgency."

I am desperate for some hope.

I am desperate for some truth.

I am desperate for God's love.

I am desperate for some rest.

For the days where I don't want to talk to anyone. I'm desperate to talk to God.

For the days where I just want to lay in bed. I'm desperate for the Lord's strength.

For the days where I don't have answers when someone asks if I'm alright. Im desperate for the Word of God.

For the days where my head overthinks and my mind becomes my worst enemy. I'm desperate for God's rest.

I'm desperate to be pulled out of the pit, but I'm also desperate to not forget Who pulled me out the pit.

To remember that He hears my prayers.
That He gives me more strength than I imagine.
That His word never fails.


I'm desperate to remember that He gives me rest and in Him I am renewed and refreshed.

Lord, I'm desperate for You...
