The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You made a promise to Sarah, and she waited twenty-five years to see it come. Her body said it could not happen. Then it did. She laughed, not because it made sense, but because You kept Your word. Father, I am in a long wait too. The promise You have made will be kept on Your timetable, not mine. Make me patient through the silent years. The laughter that ends in joy may be ahead of me, too. Sustain me until You come through. Amen.
