The Epiphany has passed, the New Year feels a little less fresh, and real life seems to be crowding in for me. The sweet lull I had felt earlier this month has passed, and everything is running full speed ahead. All I want is a little more space and time for calm.
The reality of my life right now — and probably the lives of many of us — mean that that space and time is hard to come by. But that doesn’t mean I can’t find God on my busy Monday. I remember what I so often have been told to do: Offer it up.
My frustration: offering it up.
The noise: offering it up.
My stresses, sorrows, loneliness: offering it all up.
Comment below with your thoughts:
What can you offer up today? What can Jesus redeem in your day?
or, simply answer:
Did you pray today?
I offer up the physical pain , my plans as they often don’t happened the way I envision and Iet frustration creep in and my inner talk so I can fully be present today to those little faces around me and let God guide me on the rest.
I prayed today
To help me be able to see and recognize Him in every way of my day.
I have always been having a hard time with understanding the meaning of offering up our sorrows. I understand offering up our joy, love and glory, but not our sorrows. Can anyone explain the meaning?
Uncertainties of my future, loneliness, stubborn will, frustrations at myself that I can’t be a people pleaser all the time
