The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Psalm 55 says, "Cast Your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain You." Not place it down. Not file it away. Just throw it.
Tonight I have a burden too heavy to hold. The choice about going back to work. The fear about my baby's milestones. The way my partner and I are still finding our way back to each other.
I throw these at You. Awkwardly. The way someone drops what they can't carry one more step.
You will sustain me. Not because I did it right. But because You are faithful.
Catch what I have thrown. Hold me through this night. I don't have perfect words. But I trust You anyway.
Amen.
