A prayer for the days you feel behind
For anyone measuring their life against a timeline they did not agree to.
Father, I am tired of comparing. I have been holding my life up against other people and finding it short, and I am starting to believe that being late is the same as being forgotten.
Remind me that you are not working to anyone else’s calendar. Remind me that the years I think I wasted are not outside your reach. Help me to stop rushing what you are still forming, and to stop despising the slow parts.
Give me enough peace for today. Not for the whole plan, just today. And where I cannot see the way forward, let me trust the one who does.
