Tuesday Prayer

God, I’m sitting in a deep well a grief.

I hear the noise and movement from life outside of the painful bubble in which I currently abide. I wish that I could be with those carrying on the everyday-ness of life.

But right now, God, it’s you and me in this space of mourning. Far away from the normalcy I know, we sit together.

One of these days, you will help me reach the top of the well. But right now we curl up in the shadows of this abyss. And for that sliver of light, I am grateful.

Amen.
