God Is With Us...Even When We Aren't

Dear God,

I know that I'm not perfect.

I know sometimes I forget to pray,

I know I have questioned my faith.

I know sometimes I lose my temper,

so thank you for loving me 

unconditionally and giving me

another day to start over again.

Indeed, we begin again tomorrow.

Today was the first day in the office since March of 2020. Well, for most people. I've been going in since mid-January. Today was Return to Office (aka RTO) for all the employees.

As the primary Admin on the floor - for 250 people - my desk was the equivalent of a deli line for most of the day. The day was not as bad as I expected; and it was still bad.

With more on-tap tomorrow.

When I got home, changed into my jammies, and essentially sat on the sofa, nearly comatose - I felt a profound feeling of peace settle on me.

In an instant, I knew that I kept my cool, remained level-headed, and got thru an extremely trying day - because God was beside me. Helping me hold my temper and keeping a genuine smile on my face.

God...is always there. Even when we forget completely, or don't give him any credit - he never leaves our side.

The human being that I am, I struggle sometimes with how God does that.

And the human being that I am - bows down in gratitude for it.
