From Psalm 69, verse 3 in the NRSV: "I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for God." In your prayer-writing today, place in pen before God the places of deep fatigue in your life and soul.
God, I am just tired
and sad
There's much to be grateful for
and in the big picture I'm lucky
and blah blah blah
et cetera
because the little things are the things that stab
just like with culture shock
where telephones and toilets
trip you up
daily living is un-joyed
by the small slights
smears
disconnections
disaffectations.
Lonely.
