I'm feeling rather tired,
I'm running out of steam.
My body started giving up, and now I barely sleep
I'm told I'm bad at teaching,
That everything is wrong.
That I'm not giving quite enough when I am at my job.
And now I'm overwhelmed, Lord.
I don't know what to say.
I thought that I could serve You here, but I don't want to stay.
The effort that I'm giving
Seems never quite enough.
I'm running myself ragged helping others with their stuff.
The peace that I'm not finding
Can only come from you.
But how can I ask for Your help with everything You do?
I feel so selfish asking,
But Lord, I need some rest.
I need some help to organize my heart to do my best.
I don't know where to start, God,
So I'll leave it up to You.
Whatever You direct is what I happily will do.
If sleepless nights are what is next
I'll trust you day by day.
You've proven You are mighty, and You'll guide along the way.
I'm trusting in Your plan Lord
'Cause my plan isn't best.
I'm learning, Lord, that in Your plan alone, can I find rest.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW

Yes! This is so relatable, and I said the same prayer. I'm glad we can ask the Lord to guide us when we are unsure of what to do.
Cary, I so understand this feeling. I hope you get the rest you so need. Take care.
