Stop Refreshing, You Are Already Known
The screen is dark again. You refresh, hoping the blank space has filled with words that aren't there.
Your mind invents a thousand reasons for the silence, each one heavier than the last. But in this quiet, the light is not absent; it is simply waiting, like a father watching a door he knows you will walk through.
You do not need to force the connection or manufacture the peace. The One who sees what is done in secret already knows the ache in your chest.
Stop refreshing. The answer is not in the noise of your anxiety, but in the stillness of being known before you speak.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:6, Matthew 6:4
