I am here Lord that will have to do.

There are times when all that is possible is to goes through the motions of life.  

You rise in the morning looking for an excuse not to get up, yet you rise and go through the motions of our morning routine and you get yourself to the worship service.  

As others praise with joy and expectation all you can say is "I am here Lord that will have to do."

You listen to the scripture readings and you say "I am here Lord that will have to do."

Apathy, depression, spiritually weariness?

I am here Lord that will have to do.

And Juanita  speaks about being weary, faint with exhaustion, having the wind knocked out of you where putting one foot in front of the other is almost too much.

How does she know you have just written these words?

Wait on the Lord and God will renew your strength! 

Is this why I have come, to accept the authority the vitality of God?

I am here Lord, is that enough for me to accept your vitality as my own?

Lord you are always with me, if but I look to find you and the looking is too hard today!

So I am here Lord.

Juanita tells a story of a young child who takes a new bible story book and begins to circle the word God wherever she found it.  Her Mother asks her what she is doing! The child responds circling  God so I know where to find him when I need him.

This is why I am here I have circled this building, this community, this time because I can find God in just a time as this.
