I'm so small, yet you love me

I'm so small, yet you love me
Similiar, yet so different. Familiarity. I can easily predict who I'll meet and what I'll do each day. I enjoy the people and my work. I'm not a superhero that God singled out. In fact, I falter and stumble every day. A roof hasn't caved in on me yet, but countless little trials and tribulations here and there test me. Why did or didn't I do that? Arg, it's so easy to willfully sin! Did I do enough? Do people like me? Am I seeking praise from people rather than praising God? Did I seek God's kingdom and righteousness first? Did I even bother to commit things into His hands? Do I pray enough? Do I love Him? I've discovered that all these questions and more generally lead me to seek Him. To lay down the questions at His feet and trust He sees my actions, hears my questions, and knows my heart. He reminds me to be joyful always, pray countinuously, and give thanks in all circumstances, because that is His will. Praying for God's providence has become much more than asking Him to take care of my physical needs. He provides nourishment for the soul and spirit, too. So I can't stop thinking that it's quite important to walk closely with the Lord, to have time committed to Him alone so that my relationship with Him will grow. Otherwise, how will you know when He's answering your prayers? When he needs you to help him answer someone else's prayers?
