Praying for the woman who is wandering,
that she might know every footstep
is still within your care.
Praying for the woman who is choking back tears,
that she might not be afraid of her memories
…or of her hopes.
Praying for the woman who is working relentlessly,
that she might be gentle with herself in defiance
of the world’s burdens.
Praying for the woman who is holding life together,
that she might finally believe in an Incarnate Life
without bandages and duct tape.
