Day one-hundred-seventy-seven

Things are continuing to improve at work. Being Thursday, it's a little busier, but with the new system in place, things are getting done without anyone getting overwhelmed. I'm thankful to The Lord for this, and that everyone seems motivated to want things to be better.

In spite of all that's going on, I find myself feeling anxious. I am prone to anxiety, though I haven't felt this anxious in a long time. 1Peter 5:7 says to cast our cares in The Lord, "for He cares for you." It's such an easy temptation to keep these things to myself when I should be taking them to The Lord. He wants us to trust Him, to be the Father we so desperately need.

I find myself realizing (or maybe it's better to say, remembering) why it's so important that we should draw so near to God; it's that He would draw so near to us. He is the Father who runs to meet the prodigal son on the road in the Gospel of John. He sees us afar off and runs to have us.

Lord, may Your goodness and mercy occupy my thoughts, be a comfort, and a source of praise.
