Chronic pray-ers
I've been asking myself,
When does acute pain become chronic pain?
When it lasts a month? two? three maybe?
Or just when it persists
Disrupts your daily routine
When you have to create space in the day to allow for it
When it slows you down
As I'm praying for your chronic pain,
I'm asking God to teach us to be chronic pray-ers too
That short sharp prayers would develop
We would persist
Our daily routines looking different
As we create space to pray
Allowing it to slow us down
Teach us to be chronic pray-ers LORD
Amen.
