AN ORIGINAL SELAH37 PRAYER
Faithful God, waiting leaves me restless. Help me hope without trying to control the outcome. Give me something loving and useful to do today, and permission to grieve what remains unresolved. Surround me with patient companions. Keep my heart open to your presence in this unfinished season. Amen.
