The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You promised in Isaiah 65 that one day there will be no more crying. But right now, crying fills this house. The baby cries. I cry. Sometimes we both cry at three in the morning. That does not mean Your promise is wrong. It means we are still waiting. Help me hold both — the real tears now and the real hope later. I do not have to hide the crying. I do not have to rush the hope. Steady me between the two. Amen.
