You truly are awesome.
These past few days, I keep thinking...
I know, I'm aware that You
You are omnipotent, omniscient,
the Greatest.
But I just can't stop thinking
that You must be tired.
You should be tired, and bored,
and frustrated, and irritated.
I know I think as human
but that's my kind of normal.
And yes, I want to understand You my way.

Shouldn't You be tired?
You are always awake (how tortuous)
You help in every situation, every problem.
You work every second (how strenuous)
You supply breath and bread, warmth and the Word.
You listen every minute (how sapping) to grumbling and prayers, wailing and questions.
How do you do it?
I can't, no one can, only You.

You truly are awesome.
How strong are You
to tolerate us, me?
How loving are You
to constantly assure us, me?
It's especially frustrating when You're telling me to calm down and listen but I don't.
It's worse when I doubt You,
when the world doubts Your existence,
and even I feel bad in Your stead.
I can't imagine working to ensure the safety of someone and then accepting the ingratitude that might come with it.
How do you do it?
I can't, no one can, only You.

So, on this rare occasion;
Through Your Spirit,
whereby I consider Your feelings,
Your burden, Your yearnings...
I say thank you
with all of my heart
I mean it, I'm so thankful I could cry
I'll bear a little burden for You
I'll listen closely to You,
I'll strive to be better,
make You worry less,
ensure I get to live with You forever.
So that I may be able to express my thanks to You through my worship forever.
I'll bring people to You,
lessen Your pain.
I'll make them understand what I now do.

Thank you so much.
And with sadly, yet happily, one more burden on You...

So help me God.
Amen.
