Sitting on empty. In some seasons.
Even with daily seeking.
Even though I’m reading the Word. Praying.
Even as I walk in fellowship and family.
All those pieces and places usually keep my heart and mind filled to overflowing.
But now? Empty.
Stillness
Feeling the cavern.
Echoes in a hollowed space.
Reaching for new ideas. Seeking inspiration. Trying to put stories on paper.
But, nothing.
Only stillness.
Empty spaces
So I come with open hands to You.
Bringing empty spaces to the One who fills to overflow.
Overflowing hope.
In You, I am complete.
So I come.
Sit.
Wait.
Enough
In the waiting, I breathe.
And surrender.
Declaring You are enough in the empty places. Always.
And I am Yours.
“Be still, and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
What about you?
Have you ever felt empty, with nothing to give? How has the Lord taught you through those times?

Lockdowns in 2020-2022 definitely had that feeling for me! He was faithful and never left me and I learned a bit more about waiting.
Phew, what a season THAT was. I’m still considering that lessons and impact of those years.
Yes there are seasons of feeling empty and seeking to wait in faith for the Lord, trusting he’s always loving and faithful as he has said.
Yes. We walk by faith. Thanks for sharing, sister.
