might we stay, grounded


Father, we come . . .

wanting to believe we're enough.
wanting to believe we're equipped.

yet, we sometimes feel so insignificant.

we're struggling to not compare ourselves with others' giftedness.
we're struggling to not compare ourselves with others' grittiness.

yet, we sometimes feel so isolated.

shame tells us that we don't have a meaningful part to play.
shame tells us that we don't have a mature part to play.

yet, we sometimes feel so idolized.

some people look at us with awe.
some people look at us with admiration.

yet, we sometimes feel so ill-equipped.

our struggles remain and what we say and do seems hypocritical.
our struggles remain and what we say and do seems heretical.

yet, we sometimes feel so idealized.

keep us grounded from the opinions of others.
keep us grounded from the opinions of ourselves.

amen.

Linking with Jennifer today.
