Priya Iyer
Bengaluru. Doctor. Quiet runner.
Prayers shared
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…
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…
Moving in three weeks. Pray for the goodbyes. #thanksgiving
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…
It might be nothing. The doctor used the word 'probably' and the word 'most likely' a lot, and then scheduled three more appointments. I held it together through the consult and cried in the car park …
Pray for one slow weekend.
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. …
So much joy. #thanksgiving
She has been with us as a foster placement for fourteen months. Today the judge said the words. We cried in the hallway and a stranger handed us a tissue and didn't ask why. She is three. She has a …

Praying for our daughter's health and the new baby.
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.
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…
We've been carrying this since the first scan came back uncertain. Some days I'm fine; some days I can barely look at the calendar. Pray for the doctor to be honest and gentle. Pray for the right next…
After months of hustle. Pray for the next ten. #thanksgiving
Such a tender world. We can do small good things.
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…
It's been four years. Some weeks are bearable, some are not. This one has not been. Pray for the appointment with the new specialist on Monday — for fresh eyes and for me to ask the right questions in…
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.
