Calm My Anxious Heart

 Abba, there is a lot coming up in my life in the next 2-4 weeks.  

• I learned that a hearing date for the grievance of inappropriate termination is likely to happen during the week of March 25
• --when we are supposed to be in New Jersey.  
• I am trying to figure out what to do about income and insurance, particularly dental and vision.  
• I am writing statements in my head for all the things I would like the grievance officer to learn.  
• I am anticipating my niece's funeral and the profound sadness that will accompany that day.  

I am trying to stay focused, Abba, without feeling overwhelmed.  I am not succeeding too well.  Things come and go from my memory and my consciousness without leaving traces or hints.  

I admit, Father God, that I am distracted.  I will try to get one task completed before I leave.  Forgive me for all the things, attitudinal and behavioral, known and unknown, that constitute sin against You.  Purify my heart and direct my path--and calm my anxious heart.

Love You.  Amen.
