Today I Pray…

For the ability to pray!

Dear Lord, thank you for knowing all we are feeling. I thank you, Lord, for knowing my heart and spirit better than I do.

I am so thankful for the times of understanding when I don’t understand, let alone know what to say, and it’s such a comfort to know I can sit with you and say nothing at all, and you hear my heart.

The prayers when all we can do is look up and shake our heads, no words can form, no real thought can settle, even that lends to the frustration because there’s so much that needs to be expressed, released but often we can’t. Thank you for being there; thank you for knowing.

Thank you that the silent tear makes so much noise in heaven. Thank you when we feel the most alone; we aren’t. Thank you for loving us when we feel the most unlovable, and thank you for seeing the beautiful rose instead of the thorn.

Thank you, Lord, for taking sadness to peacefulness, turning anger down to a simmer, filling the lonely spaces with your graces, and for loving us as we are this very moment.

We fail, and we fall, but then you know that and love us anyway. We resist and refuse, yet you remain right at our sides. You never let us remain but always are moving us closer to you. Thank you for always being there!

I love you, Lord Jesus with all my heart and that doesn’t even come close to the love you feel for us. Thank you for You! In your name I pray! Amen

May your day be blessed with peacefulness. Thank you for sharing some of your Sunday with me. 🥰
