Lord, I am so tired, so weary. I know I am focusing on the trees that surround me, which are looming large. I’ve lost Your perspective. These trees that I am slogging wearily through are not nearly as important as they feel. They are just all that I can see at present. Help me.

Father, Help me to metaphorically climb the rock face so that I can get out of these trees, so that the view can open up, so that I can see all that exists just beyond those looming trees I can’t see past at present. I know You have a whole world of possibilities waiting for me to catch my breath. Help me.

Precious Savior, Thank You for the growth and wisdom that comes from sitting with You each morning, from studying Your word each day. Help me not to get stuck in this forest of weary. Help me to keep life in proper perspective. Help me to focus on You. Always. Amen.
