God gave me you for the days of doubt...

‎"God, thank you for those profound moments that jar/pry me off 'dead center' stalls or backslides in my faith. Help every doubt become a tool for cleaning my spiritual home, your hand over mine as I dust and sweep away unhealthy concerns and unproductive distractions. Help me see, hear, smell, taste, and feel more of your amazingly generous and gracious love and beauty in your beloved creations, including in me and in those around me. Thank you for [sometimes not so gently] reminding me that you are God... and I am not."
