solitude

Many feel distressed when alone, and put in a request for people around them. I on the other hand deal with too many people, and so I would LOVE more time alone--but no. To me, it's an ego trip to be alone, and do things your way, not "their" way. Give me MORE solitude!!

For more solitude. Every time I deal with people, it convinces me how much I DON'T want To deal with people. They all turn out to be jackasses.I'm not a psychiatrist, it's not my job to deal with everyones stupid ways. For more moments of solititude,. It's the only way I keep MY sanity.

God, I want to thank you for providing all that I need in life. I want to thank you for the test you put in my life. I pray that my eyes look firmly in the direction you lead me. I pray that you protect me in this time of loneliness and solitude. I pray that break up doesn't break me down...

I pray that during this retreat my arrogant, dishonest, and abusive nature starves from lack of targets, and that during solitude and reflection humility, remorse, lovingkindness, and all other goodness arises. May I anchor in goodness and in surrender to God.
