The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, 1 Peter 5 says that after we have suffered a little while, You will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us. "A little while" is the hard part. Right now, it does not feel little. The thing I am dealing with feels endless: the friendship that fell apart, the family thing, the way I do not like myself most days. I am not asking You to skip the suffering part. I just want to believe there is something on the other side of it that is not just me being a wreck. Hold that promise out where I can see it. I will trust that what You are doing in me is not finished, even when it feels like nothing is happening. Some seasons are mostly silent on the outside while everything is being rebuilt underneath the surface. Be patient with me; I am being patient with the silence. Amen.
