A prayer to pray now
Father, some days I feel poured out like water.My body is sore.My energy is gone.I have been spread so thinI cannot find my own shape.
You did not turn awaywhen Your people cried out in pain.You did not turn away from Your own Son.Do not turn away from me.
Meet me here in the slumped chairwhere I cannot fix myself.I do not have to stand tallfor You to come close.
Restore me when You are ready.Until then, hold me.
Amen.
