To Upset, to Receive?

I was at church this morning. In front of me, there was a parent with their small child. The child was very well behaved throughout most of the service. But, there came the point, when the child had just had enough.

The parent did a great job at trying to console and comfort the child, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. The child was making it’s unhappy state, known to all. Not in a major disturbance, but enough, to be uncomfortable for the parent. In the end, the parent carried the child outside, in a calm and relaxed manner.

As this was happening, I was kind of thinking, sometimes, can we be like that child?
Can we be in a place where we could be blessed, in some way, but because of the state that we find ourselves in, we are just not able to take the blessing on board?
Can it be that sometimes, we can be too consumed with an upset of some kind, so that we can then become unable to see anything else, other than the upset, that we are dealing with?
Even to the point of where we are unable to see the answer to our upset, even if it was next to, or directly in front of us?

My Lord God,
If we are ever to upset to receive anything from You, then please, gently let us know, that this is the case.
Please help us to hand all of our concerns and upsets, over to You.
Please help us, with all that we have to face.
Please, open our eyes to Your Good Blessings, that we have already received, and that we can take hold of.
Please lead and guide us, in the way, that is best for us to go.
Thank you that You are with us, and that You do lead and guide us.
Amen.
