Lord, right now I need to know that I was made for something other than disappointment. I feel heavy with the selfishness and naivety of this request, but I am forced to bring it to your feet, raw with the sincerity and exhaustion of my spirit. Instead of feeling cherished and beloved by my creator, I feel dejected and disoriented. I desire confidence and peace in you that stands firm through any wavering of the world around me. The past few weeks I have spent so much more time dwelling and striving in this world than I have dancing in your kingdom and finding it on earth. Show me how to be in this world and not of it. Whisper around me, "this is the way, walk in it" so that I can be confident in where I have been called. Bring me into the circumstances that cover me in understanding of why any others fell by the wayside.
