The alarm rings.

I don't care.

The dog needs to be let out.

I don't care. 

The cat needs to be fed.

I don't care.

I have work today.

I still don't care. 

I have bills to pay.

I STILL don't care.

I have responsibilities.

Didn't you hear me? I don't care!

 

I don't have the strength to get out of bed today.

I don't have anything left in me.

I've lost all confidence. 

I've been doing so good.

But I just. can't. do it today.

 

So where do I go from here?

 

Everything still needs me.

Whether I have the strength to get up,

Everything still needs me. 

 

 

 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;

 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

- Isiah 40: 30-31

 

I was never meant to do it alone.

 

Today I can't say "I got this." 

But I know who does.
