God, be my holding ground

Many thoughts flying past my head, it's just one of those times in life. You allow the thoughts and images to run, a never-ending pursuit. Life, what a simple word. It encompasses the many things that simply cannot be contained in a mere 4 letters. Thousands of quotes can hardly qualify its true meaning. The events which happen all at one go, sometimes leaving you breathless and your heart fluctuate with varying, intense emotions. Marriage ceremonies which brings hope, happiness and sweetness, the news of death which brings sadness, heaviness and sorrow, the hectic rehearsals which brings anxiety and anticipation, close friends who are absent which intensifies the need for connection, support and understanding, the awaiting of the interview and year to come which bring anxiety, fear and expectancy....and more. 

With so much activity going on inside, the holding ground better be strong enough to contain them.

I prayed to God for all the above and more. Only He can contain them.

Father, please replace my strange and scary dreams with blissful sleep.
