Lord, I am weary

Dear Lord, there are times when I feel so tired,

so tired, it seems I have no energy at all.

I could barely move, I could barely pray.

I feel like I’ve done so many things,

I’ve exerted my best efforts to plant good seeds,

to water them, to even pull out the weeds

that dare compete with my seeds.

I have waited, and I have almost lost my hope.

I couldn’t see a single plant sprouting from the ground.

It’s as though I have not done anything,

as though I buried trash instead of seeds that should grow

and bear fruit before my eyes.

My God, I have done everything the best I know how,

and now I rest before you.

I pray for your blessing.

I pray for your abounding Grace.

These are not my seeds, after all, but Your seeds.

Let them see the destiny that you’ve made for them.

Let them bare a thousand fruit.

Let my eyes see your miracle.

Fill my cup again, Dear Lord.

It is You that I wait for,

and in You only shall I find

what I have long been waiting for.
