Drained but looking to God (and rather thankful)

I've been in the doldrums for a while... Somewhat down... somehow cheerless... and lacking in faith.

But I believe that I will not be stuck in this state forever. I believe that God loves me and that He will grant me rest. He will ice my parched soul. He will wrap me in a warm towel. He will rest me on a couch.

What I'm waiting for has not come yet. When will I get married. So many people getting married/gotten married. But God has not forgotten me. I'm not going to worry about when I'll get married. I'm not going to worry about my next destination in my career.

God has granted me favour where I work. Even though I'm burnt out, and some people were trying to take credit for my work. Today it was revealed to me that people somehow know I did the work, and the biggest boss is very pleased with my work. God has given me wisdom to do my job. He led me to the right resources. He also protected me from this job that was about to be launched at me (and which was not mine).

God says He will not leave or forsake me. He knows all my needs, and He longs to comfort me, like a mother dandling her child on her knees. I can be contented in Him. I will be a weaned child before Him. I'm not going to worry...
