a prayer for being here
sometimes, God,
I don’t know what I’m doing here
help me to find my place
help me to see where I connect
help me to see what we have in common
help me to let go
of impossible standards
help me not to expect us
not to be who we are
help me to be an encourager
a partner
help me to ask for what I need
help me to celebrate
more than criticize
help me to find myself
here
