"Blue Worship"

Who are those people who think that a relationship with the Creator removes us having the blues? The more we know and understand, the more we are responsible for fine-tuning our "present-tation", somewhere BETWEEN being human, dealing with our human conditions, and the struggle-work of expressing our divinity, yielding to love, is:

BLUE WORSHIP.

"Blue Worship"

I know that every prayer is answered in His perfect time. I know that every choice I make takes me away from or brings me towards His pleasure. But with every opportunity, I choose to worship.

I made decisions to give up, quit, to let go, and move on. But when I choose to worship, freedom and grand liberty is the champion of my experience. Every problem in reality only seems to be a problem.

My prayer, oh God, more than any I have given, or may ever give, is that you authorize the necessary courage for me to continuously choose to worship, and to recognize in every situation, circumstance, and condition that God is completely here, now.

Through the weight of this season, draw me into worship. In this captivity, yoked, oppressed, discouraged, guide me, lead me, provide for me opportunities to choose to worship. I am unable to work out or work through the situations and circumstances that I have chosen for myself, with my lack of vision, short wisdom, frantic focus, and weary heart.

But Father, you said that a day is coming when you will be seeking true worshippers. I want to be found choosing to worship.

My future is in my seeds of worship to you. I look not for a specific outcome, but for your comforter, comfort, and assurance through this time, right now. This season speaks with a voice that deems "the end", doom, gloom, and the "I'll-never-make-it mantra".

But my seeds of worship are my gifts from you, and surely you, Father, have given me these seed-gifts to make room for me in your plan and through you. Suddenly, my tears become the necessary rain to nurture my seeds into fruits.

...they that sow in tears shall reap in joy. (Psalms 126:5)
