I’d like to wrap up this week with the prayer that Emily shared for this chapter:
“Lord, I know you are a God of intimacy and that you have counted every hair on my head (Matthew 10:30). When I feel as heartbroken, discouraged, and lonely as the widow at Nain, help me to know and remember that you care deeply about my pain and my struggles and you are present to meet me in them. In the moments where I cannot fathom just how important I am to you – help me to remember that you fashioned the oceans and the sky and fashioned me with your very own hand, and that you never stop thinking of me for one second. Amen.”
What a beautiful summary of our discussion this week. I like to think that as we pray it together, we support one another on the journey.
For those of you that are reading the book along with me, let’s read the next chapter, “Priority Number One: Mary and Martha.” I will summarize part of the chapter in Tuesday’s post and share the first discussion question for the week.
