The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, I am scared of how my body has been feeling. I have not told anyone yet because I am afraid of what they will say. You are my safe place. You are where my fear can go, not just inside my head. Take it. I am not asking for instant peace. I am asking for the next true step. Tomorrow morning, I will tell one parent what is going on. Even just a piece of it. Even if it is awkward. After that, whatever they say, we will figure out the next thing. I do not have to hold the whole imagined future tonight. I only have to hold the conversation tomorrow. Help me hold it. You have not been startled by anything that is happening in my body. Walk me, slowly, into the room with my parent. After that, we will see. Amen.
