God Sees

It's strange. Today is only Tuesday; not even mid-week yet and I'm already weary to the bones. Did I get enough sleep? Yes, I had a good 7 hours, although after many years of "training", I can function very well on just 5 hours, or sometimes lesser.

Maybe it's all the thinking that I've been doing... thinking, worrying and running about on errands, and not doing enough of praying and waiting on God. Mental drain can really tax the physical body, likewise when you're not spiritually fed. Sleep can maybe ease a little of the strain, but mental weariness takes a while to go away - often times when a problem gets solved. But the best option (always) is to wait upon the Lord and to leave your problems in His trusty hands. And when you do leave it with Him, remember NOT to take it back. It's complete surrender. He'll take care of the rest.

Well, time to put this thought into action.

~ He Sees ~

Feeling as if her heart would break,
Stinging words, they had lashed out.
The tears she held, so deep within,
Revealed her anguish and doubt.

They cut as if a two-edged sword.
She fought the emotions within.
But, in the recesses of her mind,
Words echoed time and again.

In the stillness of the night,
She knelt to voice her plea.
Within her soul, she plainly heard,
"Fear not, because He sees."

He knows your deepest heartaches.
Unnoticed? Not even one.
He's interceding for you,
For, you see, He's God's own Son.

There's nothing that could be hidden.
All things lay before Him bare.
Toss your burdens on the Lord.
He loves you and He cares.

Choose to walk in love and joy.
Let your heart be filled with peace.
All your pain will soon recede,
Just remember that He sees.
