Praying for honesty and courage. #marriage
Pray for a warm welcome. Nervous in a quiet way.
It was tight all the way to the last day. We had a quiet dinner of rice and eggs and we were grateful and a bit shaken. Pray for those still walking through scarcity. We have been there and we will be…
Pray for patience, humour, and hugs that still get accepted.
May help reach them quickly. May they not feel alone.
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. …
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 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…
Three weeks in, we finally got the full story out of him on Sunday night. He had been carrying it alone, which is the part that breaks me the most. We meet with the school on Wednesday. Pray for the …

Pray for patience and for the long view.
It has been heavy. Pray for one good morning, then the next.
Two real options on the table. Both could work. Both have shadows. Pray for clarity rather than certainty — I keep waiting to feel sure, and the feeling isn't coming. Pray for the wisdom to choose wit…
Such a tender world. We can do small good things.
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.
Pray for grounded confidence in who I am.
Pray for grounded confidence and the right words.
May rest find you tonight. May tomorrow be a little gentler.
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.
She is loved. The caregivers are tired. There is a particular weight to caring for someone who doesn't always remember you, and who is sometimes scared of you because of it. Pray for soft hands and sl…
We have come through one almost-match and one full match that fell through at the last week. We don't know what to call any of it now — hope, grief, tiredness. All of those at once on most days. Pray …

Hospice last Wednesday. He still has good hours. He told a joke yesterday and we all laughed too hard, the way you do. My mother is sleeping next to him every night. My brother flew in from Sydney; h…
Tender and patient with each other. #marriage

Pray for me to hold the boundary without it eating me. Pray for my child too — that they don't carry shame that doesn't belong to them. And pray for the person who hurt them — not because they deserve…
Tender and patient with each other. #marriage
He had a hard week at school — sensory overload on Tuesday, then a misunderstanding with a classmate on Thursday. The teachers are kind but stretched. Pray for one breakthrough this month, and for a s…
After months of hustle. Pray for the next ten. #thanksgiving
