Prayers

Father, Hold me in this empty place. Alone and still not apart from You. Somehow You have woven Your threads through the tapestry of my being, and the pulling apart in the day to day renders me smaller than usual. How I have longed for You. I cannot be in need while You are strength to keep me standing. You knew this time would come - You gave us grace to trust You with each other. Teach me to miss Your presence, Your Kingdom, Your home, with the passion and depth I feel on these days. You are the first One I love. But Father, I am small - I cannot do this on my own. Be close enough to hold me in the now.
Thank you for the gift of understanding, and despite the pain, for having a heart that ran deeper than my mind.
