DUST IN THE WIND

A meditation based upon Psalm 35

Lord, I want to be the center of your attention

I’m working hard at it

Doing all the right things

Trying to be perfect

It’s exhausting

Futile

Like trying to gather dust in the wind

I give up

My body reminds me that I cannot go on like this

Rescue me from myself before I break in two

I’m clueless, in the end

Realizing only that I have to give up caring about what others think of me

Stay close to me while I work through this craziness

Don’t be silent

Let me hear your voice

Fight for me because I cannot muster up enough energy to fight for myself

Help me get back to the place where my only desire is you
