The older I get,
the more I appreciate the magical way
prayer works
like invisible construction machinery –
secretly removing obstacles
and paving roads through otherwise
impassible wilderness.
Thank You for the grace your prayers have given me.
Thank You for the luminous path they created,
and Thank You for filling me with the strength to follow,
without knowing where it leads.
Your steadfast faith and unconditional love are the reasons
I’ve made it this far.
God bless you to realize the gift that you are
and to receive infinitely more blessings than you’ve poured out.
