Emerging

By Abigail Wurdeman

I am great at withdrawing,
at crawling deep inside myself,
forgetting that I do not,
cannot operate in isolation.
Draw me out again
and show me the community
You've given me.
Make me humble enough
to accept the blessings of others,
bold enough to offer gifts of my own,
and clear-minded enough
to see brilliant streaks of You
throughout this priceless community.

Holding Pattern

Prayers - Inspirational Prayer

By Ruth Williams

Holding Pattern

When it seems like you're
up in the air with nowhere to land, hold on.
There's a clearing in the distance.

When the past comes knocking
and tries to bring you down,
hold your head up.
There's a new day on the horizon.

When the future seems uncertain
and you can't find a way,
hold your heart steady.
There are better times ahead.

The Tricky Ways of Trends

Prayers - Inspirational Prayer

By Erika Harris

The Tricky Ways of Trends

It seems these days that anything goes.
Maybe I'm just ancient because I appreciate relics
like courtesy and modesty.
Maybe I'm not hip,
because I actually like being a lady
You would be proud to claim as Yours.
It doesn't matter to me what the surveys say are "in."
Unlike You, those surveys change
from one day to the next.
As much as I love my freedom,
I only enjoy it when it's anchored in You-
when I'm anchored in You.

The Making of a Star

Prayers - Inspirational Prayer

By Erika Harris

The Making of a Star

It's not fame that I seek,
but a grand opportunity to shine through service.
Isn't that what follows all the buffing and refining?
Shininess. You blow Your warm breath on me,
and then rub-rub-rub.
The lessons and the love
are to restore me with a high-gloss finish
that glistens and reflects You.
Give me the courage to neither shrink
nor cloak the living light You put inside me.

Fragile Emotions

Prayers - Inspirational Prayer

By Charlotte Reigel

Fragile Emotions

I'm exhausted and feel fragile,
but I can't go home—
he is there.
My thoughts are a jumbled mess,
so I come to You for
comfort, guidance, and clarity.

I ask You:
How to deal with his
accusations, threats, and lies?
As I wait on You,
restore my strength;
open my eyes.

Give me courage to apologize.
I can go home now.
I calmly stand firm.
I am not alone.
