I bumped up against her at the end of the day. Her sharp edges made me bristle until I realized maybe she was broken just like me. I know how the end of a day can wear away the softness and how the end of the year can expose the places where I'm scarred. And scared. So instead of putting her on the "Them" list, I wrote her name right next to mine because the fact that we've been hurt is always the one thing that unites us, and makes us "Us."
Today I'm praying for her and I'm asking God to heal the places where she hurts, and to give her peace from the things that make her edges so sharp. I'm asking God to shower grace and I'm thinking maybe you know someone who could use a bit of that. Let's pray together. For the sharp edges and the rough places and the broken pieces.
Drop your prayer in the comments today, and then whisper healing words for the one who was there before you.
