Lord,
You know me so much better than I do. You know when I’m being impatient and when I’m hesitating out of fear. I want to run now, but You are still preparing me for a much bigger race—one that requires training and perseverance. In Your wisdom You know I need to learn how to face criticism as a tool to build me up rather than tear me to pieces. I need to learn that the rejection of a particular project isn’t a rejection of who I am or who I aim to be. I need to see there will be days when words come easily and weeks when they don’t, and that I need to continue on during both seasons.
Anyone can run with men. Lord, I want to run with the horses. Not the tame ones that prance along. I want to be able to keep pace with the wild mustangs that run and run, and yet never seem to tire.
Signed,
A restless writer
I so appreciate you doing these little prayers Jen. They always seem to touch me right where I am. Thank you.
Thank you, Terry. That’s exactly what I’d hoped for.
