When I pray,
I always add the addendum,
“…if it is in accordance with Your plan,”
for more than what I plea for,
superseded, I wish for us to remain
always in His hands.
I trust whatever may happen,
although I may not understand,
will come with a needed lesson,
a necessary occurrence in the process
of the destiny in becoming once again
who I am.
I was reminded of this
when a partial wishie lent
further wisdom for reflection.
Sometimes the biggest wishes
should not be spent, eyes closed,
all at once, in one breath and direction
but patiently
spaced out in seeds,
part self-initiated action,
part angel-breath breezes.
Sometimes what we desire most
needs time to germinate to non-perfection
and be released in parts for better chances
of fruitful multiplication.
I am always careful
in what I wish and pray for:
I don’t want to get in the way
of what He has in store.
I try not to be too cautious
in taking action with soulful instinct,
for the surest way to get lost
is to pass up what He hands me.
I do close my eyes
to bring up a whisper
from my soul
that launches another
seed of hope…

The germinate line hit my heart, like Kelley. What beautiful words and a prayer. Your soul sings through it. “Lord keep me in your will,…so I won’t be in your way!” 🎶❤️
