8.5 years ago… this was my prayer.

A prayer,
scribbled out one afternoon,
my heart open on the page.

 
 

I found this today…
and began praying it all over again.

    What a beautiful prayer, Amanda! I doubt any of mine have ever flowed so beautifully over the years! Glad you wrote it down. Esp. love that line about knees in prayer working as much as if they’d been climbing mountains. Lovely!

      Oh, Heather, if only you could hear how my prayers usually go (“Dear God… Help!”)… 😉 I think this might be the only prayer I’ve ever written down. I still have so very much to learn in this walk with our God, and I’m so thankful we have an ever-present Guide in Him! Thank you for your kind words and for your wonderful friendship!
