Fatigue

Lord,

Please help me to look to You when it seems that darkness surrounds me and is waiting to crush me.

Let me see that you are there, waiting for me to reach out to You so that You can pull me through the darkness into light and comfort. 

Lord,

Help me to open my eyes today.  I need to open them not only to see You, but simply to open them.  As my body is feeling fatigue even before I rise for the day, help me to rub the sleep from them and wake. 

Amen
