Struggling Well With Life

I started my day today admitting the truth to God.  I am a needy, very needy man.  I usually feel bad about how needy I am, I hate being an imposition.  And I may be to others, but have discovered that no amount of need exhausts the Father. The weight of the issues in this life are far beyond my ability to face, and I will not pretend that I can.  I need, desperately.  I need the grace to claim that this is the day that He has made, and I need the strength to rejoice and be glad in it.  I need new mercies, new compassion.  I need forgiveness.  I need courage, trust, faith, confidence, and joy.  I am a high maintenance child of God, a very needy kid.  And as a new day and a new week begin, I am once again reminded that my depth of need is met by the One who is limitless.
