I AM.

And in the days to come, when you’re questioning, needing, searching, wondering, asking and struggling, you will find His sufficiency at the end of every desperate prayer. When you cry out all the things that you are not, you’ll know His answer is, “I AM.”

For every cry, there is one answer:

I need help. I AM.
I need hope. I AM.
Who could possibly be smart enough to figure this out? I AM.
What works? I AM.
What lasts? I AM.
What’s the latest thing? I AM.
What’s the hippest thing? I AM.
I need a fresh start. I AM.
I need a bigger story. I AM.
My vision is bigger than my resources. I AM.
Nothing’s real anymore. I AM.
Who can I trust? I AM.
I’m not sure who’s on my team. I AM.
Nobody’s listening to me. I AM.
I don’t have a prayer. I AM.
My marriage is sinking and I don’t know where to turn. I AM.
I can’t hold on. I AM.
My kids deserve more. I AM.
I’m pouring into others, who’s pouring into me? I AM.
If we fail, who will get the job done? I AM.
I’m not sure why I am here. I AM.
I’ve given all I can give and it’s not enough. I AM.
I’m tired. I AM.
I quit! I AM.
I can’t! I AM.
I need a drink. I AM.
I need a fix. I AM.
I need a lover. I AM.
Somebody just hold me. I AM.
