Help Me To Remember

It’s easier to rejoice when everything is going great

When bills are paid

Tummies are full

Everyone is warm and safe

It’s harder to praise God in the midst of uncertainty

When calls keep coming from debt collectors

When rent hasn’t been made

When the power is threatened to be shut off

Anxieties rise

Fears abound

Tears take hold and there’s nothing left to do

$1.36

It’s hard to see past that number.

Not even enough to move if we have to.

I tend to go to worst-case scenarios

Seems silly, but that is where my mind goes.

Dear God!

Help me to remember:

To remember the ways you have provided

To remember that you are trustworthy

To remember that you are faithful

To remember that I am not alone.
