This week, I prayed a lot. It's a good thing that word count doesn't matter too much though, because my prayer life has pretty much been reduced (or simplified, if you're a glass half-full type) to two-word phrases. This week:
Jesus, provide.
Although sometimes it was more like:
Jesus! Provide!
No matter. The point is this: I'm tired and spent and don't have too much left to give, but I can see that God did provide this week, both for me and through me and for others in ways totally unrelated to me. What He did not choose to do this week was provide in overly abundant ways (according to the world's standards), and in my selfishness, this lack of excess can prevent me from seeing my life through the lens of gratitude. The reality is that God provided enough. There have been, and will be again, weeks that overflow with things that I can readily see and praise Him for. This week, God is working on my eyesight, teaching me to see and praise Him for that which is simply enough.
