a prayer for the one who feels behind

If your convictions scatter when you look up from your work, may you remember his unfailing presence beside you

If your courage fails when you see others who started earlier and are going farther, may you remember that the race he’s marked out is just for you

If your questions grow loud and the answers don’t come, may you step into the peace that is beyond understanding

If you wonder if it will ever turn out right in the end, may you look for the one whose promises are all yes and amen

A prayer for the one who is tired of starting over (it’s for me, y’all)

A prayer for the one who needs patience
