Memory and peace under pressure. Pray for steadiness.

Pray for a gentle welcome and a friend by lunchtime.

It still doesn't feel real most mornings. I open my phone to text her about something silly maybe twice a week. Then I remember. Some days I am okay. I work, I cook, I laugh at a thing on the radio. …

Pray for one good conversation this week.

It has been heavy. Pray for one good morning, then the next.

We saw him work so hard. Thank you for praying. #thanksgiving

We didn't tell them how stretched we are; they wouldn't accept the help if they knew. Pray for sufficiency for everyone. Pray for me to do this without resentment, even on the months when it is hard. …

Pray for clear heads and right values. #work

Seen, even when it is quiet. Held, even when no one knows. May this prayer find you wherever you are sitting tonight, and may it land like a hand on your shoulder.

Such a tender world. We can do small good things.

It was not the year we imagined. We had two job losses, a small loss in the family, and a long stretch where we both just survived next to each other instead of with each other. Pray for the second y…

We had the conversation last weekend about hiring a part-time helper. It did not go well. They feel managed; we feel scared. Pray for the next conversation — for softer language and for us listening b…

So much joy. #thanksgiving

May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.

Pray for patience and for the long view.

We just hired our fourth person. Each hire is a small leap of faith. Pray for the right people in the right seats. Pray for me to lead well — to set a tone of high standards and high care. I have work…

Engaged. Praying for our marriage from day one. #thanksgiving

We hadn't spoken properly in four years. Long story, dumb story; it started with an argument about our father's money and ended with neither of us willing to be the first to call. I called yesterday. …

Pray for patience as the body heals more slowly than I expected. Trying not to push too hard. #healing

I keep replaying it. Pray for me to lay it down without dropping the boundary. There is a version of forgiveness that is just self-erasure and I don't want to do that. There is also a version that hol…
