fear

I don't want to be so scared; but I am. I pray that my father in heaven give me understanding, peace, comfort, forgiveness... but I can't help but feel violated, alone, and completely vulnerable.

In my uneasy state of mind, I thought I was losing my mind when the earthquake hit-- but there really WAS an earthquake! Perfect timing, of course, to send me right off the edge. *sigh*

I want to sleep for a really, really long time and not be afraid of every little creak and squeak. I want to be brave. I want to... forget. Dear Lord, please give me strength.
