Divine Teapot-
My teacup is empty. There is no nourishment, no flavor, no hydration in my soul. I seek one drop of anything, and I discover I’m arid.
I never realized I would ever be in a spiritually parched state. Your Spirit continued to flow, and now it seems as though I have missed receiving a refill.
How long can I attempt to pour from an empty cup, O God?
May I find the refreshment I need to refill my soul. My I find the rest I need to recharge my mind.
Amen.
