* Vulnerability with God *

"I've been trying to read 5 Psalms a day lately (if you read five you'll get through the whole book every month. I've missed a few though so maybe 40 days for me lol) and I've been ridiculously struck with just how candid David is. The transparency, the vulnerability, the angst. One psalm he's lamenting, one he's praising, and sometimes he's doing both in the very same psalm! They read like a cry from the depths. Reminded me we don't need to talk formally to God like an eternal professor. If we have Jesus we have the Spirit that can cry abba (daddy). Pour out your heart before [Him]. Every morning let him fully in. No hiding. In the rawness, that's when grace really starts to flood in."
