Letting Go
Logo for 77% Weekly
Lord, I simply cannot go to sleep. It is midnight and my mind is still racing like a runaway locomotive. I am reworking the events of today and have already begun worrying about the ones tomorrow. I want to let go and give them over to you to carry for awhile but I simply cannot resist worrying over them a little longer.

I'm having a difficult time letting go and trusting these days. I know you never slumber or sleep so why am I so intent on staying awake?

I have read stories of saints being able to fall asleep in the midst of violent storms. I want that kind of peaceful sleep. Lord.

It's raining pretty hard down here, dear God. It is not good sleeping weather. I feel like I should worry a little bit longer, but frankly, I don't have much strength left for it. The wonderful thing about weariness. Lord, is that it makes trusting you so much easier to do. I wish I had been less strong more quickly.

Love,

Larry.

The 77% Weekly
The 77% Weekly: The Religion-Outside-The-Box Newsletter helps people find and be with (the) God (of their understanding) 40 out of 52 weeks a year.

Why 77%?
Two reasons:
1) 40/52 = 0.76923. The newsletter is sent every Monday except the last of each month.
2) In school 77% was a passing grade and ROTB wants to remind you that life isn't graded.

Religion-Outside-The-Box is a donation-supported,
non-denominational, internet-based, 501c3-tax exempt religious congregation.
