My heart is tired, so I’m taking this time to pray.
Dear Lord,
I feel great about juggling both my day job and my creative time lately, plus the glimpses of hope and pockets of joy in between both. Thank You, Lord, for giving me a day job that pays the bills and that gives me time for the things I love, like writing and creating art. Being able to be an employee and a creative person warms my heart, and I’ve wanted this for years. And also, thank You, Lord, for simply making me happier than I have ever been.
Speaking of my day job, yes, it pays the bills, but… I honestly need a better-paying job. I’m not getting any younger, and I need to save more money for future plans, like a particular trip that I’d like to take soon. At the same time, I’m also a bundle of nerves because I’ve been getting tired easily. Obviously, I couldn’t do everything in a single day, but if I already feel tired from the schedule that I have now, what more when I get a second job? Will I reach a point where I need to sacrifice my time for creativity to earn more money? Honestly, I’m worried sick about that.
Dear Lord, please give me the strength to power through this, and please provide me a job that will make an auxiliary fund possible. At the moment, frankly speaking, I’m worried financially, and my body, my heart, my mind, and my soul are tired.
Please, Lord. I’m really tired. Give me the strength, please.
Amen.
See you all in the next post.
