Fighting Nothing

[alpharaposa]

Worries over work and money have me escaping by doing... nothing. Archive binging on webcomics or reading up on politics. Just reluctant to go out and do things.

Nothing is eating up my time, and it's hard to resist Nothing.

So, to work. Prayer to fight Nothing. Hope that I can resist and do what I ought to be doing, or want to be doing.

O GOD, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

C.S. Lewis quoted this BCP Collect and mentioned that, indeed, without God, Nothing is very strong.

I was thinking about that from The Screwtape Letters today. I didn't know it was from a collect.

Yup, 4th Sunday after Trinity.
