I'm tired, running on fumes kind of tired. I'm overwhelmed and do not know how to get un-overwhelmed. I have kept a pretty, happy face and can only keep pretending for so long. I can feel the bad attitude setting in and request prayers from a friend. Ranting to a teacher only helps so much. Walking out the door this morning in frustration did not help. Looking at another full day to get through and sitting at a desk only makes things worse. Should I cry? Should I yell? Should I run? If only it could all go away. I exhaustingly run to the Lord. He gives me Isaiah 41.

“But you, Israel, my servant,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,

I have been chosen for such a time as this, to sit at my desk.

    you descendants of Abraham my friend,
I took you from the ends of the earth,
    from its farthest corners, I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
    I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

I am not rejected by the Lord, He sees me, He knows me.

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;

His presence is here with me, may I call out and feel His spirit.

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;

Lord, please give me the strength to fight against the attitude of the Devil.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

13 For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

I think this day might be trying to call me into fear. Fear of not being enough. Fear of failure. Fear of missing out. There is no fear in the presence of the Lord, Hallelujah. May we walk today without fear knowing the Lord sees us, helps us when we are weak, and walks with us through the bad attitude days.
