The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father,
Psalm 13 starts with "How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?" That question saves me. It means the Bible has room for what I keep feeling.
Let me say my hard part.How long does this last?Why has this season been so quiet from You?
I do not need an answer right now.I just need to know that asking is allowed.It is.
Walk me slowly toward the end of that psalm.The part where David trusts You again.The question is not a sign that I lost faith.It is a sign I am still close enough to ask.
Let my asking be the same kind.Amen.
