And yet...

 Monday, March 9, 2026 (6:31 a.m. PDT)

Blessed God,

Thank You that I can come before You with every feeling and attitude. Like the one I’ve been unsuccessfully battling on my own recently. Thinking lowly of myself. Going so far as to using the “spoiled brat” phrase again.

I confess to You, Dearest Dad. That is often how I see myself. I am aware of the blessings You provide. And yet

(7:09 a.m.)

Exactly! “And yet…” Those two words vacillate between offering me hope and despair.

♪Come Sail Away with Me♪

(7:39 a.m.)

Lord God, once again I am AGOG! Excited. And eager to tell!

One moment I am feeling down cast. Desperate. Saddened by situations. And the next? I am seeking Your best. Tacking “with God” to every emotion I search.

Father, how I thank You for the things You use to get my attention. Other people’s experiences that they’ve shared openly online. Teaching me words and songs that I’ve never known before.

“Becalmed” - unable to move through lack of wind; stuck, stranded, unmoving

Faith - Hebrews 11:1

Psalm 51:12. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey You.”

(8:21 a.m.)

Lord, I want very much to sail away with You as my Captain. To trust. And appreciate.

I realize [and confess] how very often I take You and Your gifts of provision for granted. Forgive me I pray.

♪I’m So Blessed, I’m so blessed

Got this heartbeat in my chest

No, it doesn’t matter about the rest

If I got You Lord, I’m so blessed♪

Father God, I want to be grateful. I know you to be good. Gracious. Glorious. Great (Psalm 145:5-8). And I want to know You as being enough.

(8:58 a.m.)

Thank You for the opportunity of reading about You simply being enough. Without the promises. And the proof. You simply are. And that in itself is enough.

Yes! And yet… You are. And that is enough. Keep me looking to You Dear Lord. Reminding me as often as is necessary that You truly are (Exodus 3:14).

Ephesians 3:20
