Empower me
to be a bold participant,
rather than a timid saint in waiting,
in the difficult ordinariness of now;
to exercise the authority of honesty,
rather than to defer to power,
or deceive to get it;
to influence someone for justice,
rather than impress anyone for gain;
and, by grace, to find treasures
of joy, of friendship, of peace
hidden in the fields of the daily
you give me to plow.

Please pray for my mom. And pray for me that I discern the best way to be her daughter.
Praying, Juniper.
Praying, too. Another terrible day with my sister. Another attempted suicide. :(...... This time her daughter found her.
prayers for anonymous. Prayers for Juniper.
May God bless you and keep you.
