I can imagine the feelings of internal "terror" surrounding the prospect of expressing a need and I applaud your courage to say it out loud. When need is shared from a pure and confident place, there is no fear, because there is no expectation or dependence on the outcome. Our inner sanctuary of divine connection allows us to fearlessly share, because we have already acknowledged and released the need in that sacred place of inner communion.... there is no agenda in expressed need, rather, an opportunity for connection between sharer and hearer. *Full confession: this comment was born from my own struggle to challenge my triggered, deconstructing self, to listen for opportunities to be a blessing, and be blessed (cue tears)🥲

This really speaks too me and is an encouragement..."

Thank you

Thanks David. Your lovely expression of the need to acknowledge and receive blessings offered is timely for me too. It was also part of the theme of our church gathering yesterday, thinking about Simon of Cyrene. 🌿
