Lord, I have felt distant from You in this season. My to-do list feels never-ending, I’m struggling to keep my head above water, and You feel distant and out of reach. Because of my busy schedule, I feel frustrated and disconnected from You. Help me remember this simple and sweet reminder: No matter where I am today, You will be faithful to meet me there. Help me to take a deep breath, slow down, and just simply be with You. I am so thankful that even my busyness and my feelings of distance from You do not determine Your nearness to me. Please meet me wherever I am today. I want to walk with You in Your great love for me. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
