Adoption Adventure: Could use some prayer

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Could use some prayer

Image via Wikipedia

I've been wrestling with some stuff.

It's too complicated to write about now.

In fact, I am reasonably sure that it will pass.

I need prayer-to help me sort it out.

What I am responsible for?

Are my expecations unreasonable?

What do I confront? What do I let go?

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there something wrong in the way I view relationships?

All I do know is that I have been disappointed by people.

I am not perfect, I know I have also disappointed people.

Truth be told, I have done much worse.

God loves me and forgives me anyway.

But when people disappoint me, my natural/instant inclination is to cut them off.

Run away.

Avoid.

But God is here, whispering something else.

Problem is, I think there are other voices here too.

I can't tell them apart at this moment.

But I do know there is a difference.

Would you please pray for me?
