Hello Lord,
a year and a half ago I was tired
nine months ago I was exhausted
then I was hollowed out, emptied inside
and waiting.
I remain here, hollowed out and waiting.
My prayer is for perspective
for renewed insight
to see things in a new way.
Hagar, servant to Sarai, consort of Abram, mother of Ishmael,
named you the God who sees, the God who saw her,
who recognized her when no one did.
And in being seen by you, that brave woman in desolation
saw new things about herself, about her future.
Your sight, Seeing God, gave her insight.
I ask you from this hollow place of waiting,
lift up my eyes to see you
remind my heart that I too am seen by you,
grant me new sight
new perspective
to catch sight of the horizon, where the light lives
and to take one step in that direction.
And Lord, do the same for all the faces I see around me
who also wait, hollowed, and yearning for sight.
For I do know that I am not alone.
2.14.22
‘I remain here, hollowed out and waiting’
Believe it.
