Dear God,

Hi. Good morning. I know you never sleep, yet for me it's still morning. I've been feeling a little emotional since I read the email. I feel so irresponsible and immature, God. It's as though I should be better, and remember where I put things. They're only keys, yet they are important keys. I've caused some friction to develop between us and the facility we use for our church services.

I don't understand this ADHD, God. I don't want to use it as an excuse, but I seriously can't help it that I've completely forgotten where they are. I'm also upset that I'm upset over something, that, in the grand scheme of things, is not that big.

Lord, I know you don't put me in any situation that I cannot handle. You know my heart, my conscience.

In a way I am very glad that I'm not to hold onto the keys anymore. I guess I felt that way after I had lost the first set of keys to the building.

I often wish I could understand why I'm made this way, because I'm often tempted to feel defective, like a misfit. Help me to see myself as you see me and not as I would otherwise see me. I'd like to understand why I do the things I do, but I guess that's not completely productive. Help me to move on. I really need your help with this, Lord.

I consider this yet another faith-building experience.
