The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You know how things get turned upside down. The people I counted on are sometimes gone. The people I never expected show up. The plans I made have folded into something new. Even the slow afternoons I dreaded have turned into the sweetest hours of my day.
You know how to use the upside-down. The first will be last. The least will be greatest.
Let me stop being surprised by the order. The plain day is often the holy one. The hidden moment is often the meaningful one. Help me trust the One who is arranging every chair.
Amen.
