Both make the heart heavy and slow to look up. The bills you rehearse at 3am can numb you to God as surely as any bottle. What is weighing yours tonight?

What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Father, there are things done in the dark that I would rather not name, in the world and in me.…Father, there are things done in the dark that I would rather not name, in the world and in me. I don't want to dwell on them or dress them up. Shine your light where I've kept the door closed, and give me the courage to live in the open with you.
Elihu sat through every round of that miserable debate without a word. "I am young, and you are very old;…Elihu sat through every round of that miserable debate without a word. "I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn't dare show you my opinion." He waited. But notice, waiting didn't cool him. When he finally spoke, it poured out. What are you holding back right now, and is it reverence, or fear?

I'm grateful for…Thank You for Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah, who went down and did exactly what the king said. I'm grateful for people who obey without stalling, and for the mule of King David carrying Solomon to Gihon, a plain sign that You settle who reigns.

Everything I count as mine came from you first. Set me apart for your purposes, and help me hold my days, my work, and my family with open hands.

"She stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest." No drama, just bending, gathering, going home to Naomi. Your quiet season may be where God is doing the most.
