When it comes to my continuing thoughts about trying to be a writer, I get frustrated. On the one hand, part of me wants to give writing a try. On the other hand, another part of me sees it as an additional task that is just going to make me feel more overworked.

Lord, help me understand myself. Help me understand whether my thoughtfulness can be shared with others through writing, whether my desire to be a peacemaker can be worked out through writing, or whether there are other, better mechanisms for this.

You know my heart.
