Lead me to the ones I need
And to the one who's needing me.
I won't assume the worst is true,
And do the best that I can do.
And to the one who's needing me.
I won't assume the worst is true,
And do the best that I can do.
These song lyrics have been my morning prayer for a few months now.
My mind gets anxious...my heart follows suit...and suddenly instead of greeting my day with joy and gratitude
I'm greeting it with trepidation and weariness.
Not every day.
But more days than I would like to admit.
I don't always call it anxiety.
Instead I say
"I have so much to do today"
"I'll never get caught up"
or
"Just ten more minutes of the snooze button."
Yet, anxiety it is because I can feel it lodged in my chest...
holding down any joy or lightness that is trying bubble up.
I've found that these lyrics from Amy Grant seem to help me
because they strip down my day to the basics.
When it comes down to it we are here to help others whether it be a kind word or action.
I'm not meant to live my life in comparison with others who seem to fly through the days with more grace than I.
I'm meant to greet the day with gratitude.
I'm meant to do the best I can do
with the One who loves me best leading my way.
Lead me to the ones I need
And to the one who's needing me.
I won't assume the worst is true,
And do the best that I can do.
And to the one who's needing me.
I won't assume the worst is true,
And do the best that I can do.
