struggling to...

Txt2PW: Hey ... I'd love your prayer. I'm just struggling a bit at the moment.

Dear Father of your children here on Earth
we know you understand our struggles here
more than we even know each other's worth,
because your love & word made life appear.

And more than life that's biological,
you've even shared your own (eternal) life
and not as scientist, just logical,
your loving mercy trumps judgement, in strife.

So help this girl & her Mother, & Dad,
to learn to curl in your hand and to rest,
no matter what's a happ'nin' - good or bad,
to let you teach and grow us through each "test".

For what we know as tests, can be "showings"
of life and love that's yours, in your children,
to unbelieving worlds they are glowings
to light a darkened place as Moon does when

it shines within a night sky more than stars
(which are big suns but light-years far away).
So may we like small Moon, shine more than Mars
reflecting our sun's light with every ray.

And even when it's light does not much show,
it's mostly 'cause it just can't still be seen,
from our angle, but half of it's a-glow.
It's trouble comes when Earth is in-between

the Sun and it, & then it is eclipsed.
The things of Earth can block the sun's strong light.
May Christ be focused gaze, & not just glimpsed,
so that he is reflected in this night.
