Tiny prayers (raw)

I’m tired.

Grant me patience.

I’m okay.

Am I going to be okay?

This isn’t what I wanted.

I’m breathing.

Are they going to be okay?

I love these people.

I do love these people.

I’m restless.

When will this be over?

Are we going to be okay?

I’m lonely.

I miss them.

This isn’t what we planned.

Why is this happening?

I can’t do this.

It’s too much.

I’m tired.

Already.

Tiny prayers (received)

Breathe. Rest.

I’m tired, but I won’t be forever.

I’m impatient, but I’m working on that.

I’m okay.

We’ll be okay.

The unplanned can surprise us, too.

I’m breathing. In and out.

We’ll be okay because we are held.

I love these people.

Love lasts. Love persists. Love never dies.

I must rest.

We must continue.

We must continue together.

We find ways to love, to be connected.

What a blessing it is to love and to be loved, to miss and to be missed.

We release what we thought this would be.

Sometimes things happen, and life is interrupted.

But we’ve been preparing for this, for when there’s interruption.

We meet this one day at a a time.

We pray, we rest, we breathe, we love.

Always.
