Trust

Friday in the Fourth Week of Lent

Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come before you;
hide not you face from me in the day of my trouble.
Psalm 102:1

I listen as the rain slashes the windows, the storm throwing itself at the world, wild and fierce. If I were out in that tumult….

Wild and fierce can be the road I travel at times, and I can feel tossed about. While my impulse can be to cower in the face of uproar, rather this is when I most need to reach out. To ask for prayer from others. To wrap myself in community. To remember that all is not up to me. To trust in God. And trust. And trust.
