Today my heart is praying:
- with the memory of deep prayer for a group of young people half a world away; remembering and lifting up those who are grieving the death of one who was far too young.
- while sipping passion tea and eating blackberries
- from the place of waking from dreams and pondering
- looking forward and looking back
- while remembering words spoken and asking questions
- while considering the warmth of the child I held in my arms last night
- for friends that are now distant, as well as those who remain close
- while aiming to offer genuine forgiveness
- for wholeness
- and health
- and healing
- for alternatives that work
- and times of rest to be poured out
- for provision just in the moments it is most necessary
- for the release of control
- because even in the moments I can't quite believe, I still long for restoration
- as specific thoughts and cares weight heavy
- seeking release and freedom
- remembering flocks of birds - real and seen only with the eyes of my heart
- in odd deep spaces with the gratefulness for a spirit who groans beyond words
- amidst a busy day at work
- watching
- waiting
- wondering
- and sometimes even trusting
- because my heart simply cannot help but cry out to Abba.
