Show him

โœฝ that You are bottling our tears

as they flow to a place that You set for

us from the very Beginning

โœฝ that he was made for

what he has yet to know

โœฝ that the salty rivers we cry

are forging a waterway to an ocean

no map has ever seen

โœฝ that You came once to

feel what he feels right now

โœฝ that our hearts beat in unison

and You carry ours when we think they

are beyond repair

โœฝ that when You call him out

from the shore that he will sink beneath

to emerge a new self

โœฝ that You created contrast at

the beginning so that we could

know the difference

โœฝ that we couldn't know joy and

compassion without

experiencing others' indifferent apathy

โœฝ that we couldn't know respect without

experiencing others' disrespect

โœฝ that we couldn't know true love without

experiencing others' exploitation

โœฝ that we couldn't see Your path without

experiencing being lost and wandered

โœฝ that we couldn't know ocean without

experiencing parched desert wilderness

โœฝ that an ocean washes softly across

white sand meant to smooth away regret

โœฝ that You hear him

โœฝ that You see him

โœฝ that You know him

โœฝthat Darkness already existed and that

You created Light

for him

for this now

for this place

โœฝ that this is not an end

โœฝ that this is a beginning

Show him.

Amen.

    Your prayer is so tender and beautifully shaped. God definitely read this and went, โ€œOkay who gave them permission to write this beautifully?!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰
