Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!
So many Blessings Lord… So many…
And yet,
I’m unsettled…
And tired…
And anxious.
In times such as these Father,
When my brokenness overwhelms me,
When Your voice seems distant,
And Your presence evades me,
I need You all the more.
And yet,
Through the self-imposed haze between us,
Shines a light;
The light of a star,
Guiding me,
Leading my heart,
To the foot of a manger.
And there,
Wrapped in the Stillness of Your Holy Gift,
I find Your peace,
And I can rest,
Safe in Your embrace.
Amen.

Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
God makes us strong in our weakness. He never leaves us; He is always leading and guiding us back to Him. God’s light is always shining bright, we just can’t see Him sometimes through our “self-imposed haze”, as you so adequately phrased it.
I truly appreciate your honesty in sharing from your heart. We all have times when we feel separated from God. But we be rest in the assurance that He is always there, waiting to give us peace and comfort in the safety of His warm embrace.
Many blessings dear friend!
I LOVE this, Phil! He is always there gently guiding us back to Him.
WOW this is beautiful. Just what I needed to read too. Bless you Phil
Reminds me of a Christmas song by Casting Crowns called “God is with Us”. Beautiful message.
This is beautiful, Phil!
