Sometimes we run out of words. And sometimes we have too many of them. Sometimes there’s so much to ask that we don’t even know where to begin. Which is why, on Wednesdays, we simplify to one word. Read more about the idea here.

Scribble

When we pick up a pencil and scribble, it’s out of boredom. Or anger. Or because we really have no idea where to go. Maybe we scribble to find out what we can do with the tool in our hand. People think scribbling is a bad thing for an adult, but I beg to differ. Lord, as we scribble, let us pay attention to what we’re feeling. Help us to become more self-aware. Teach us to express ourselves and explore. Let us quickly expel the energy that wears us out, the efforts that take us nowhere, and move on towards productivity. Not to be busy for the sake of being busy. And not to fill our days needlessly. But, Lord, be behind our efforts so that all of them are amplified. Magnified. Efficient, confident and sure. Give us direction and help us follow through.
