Daily Prayer<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Just as a hummingbird can balance
\nbetween the dying breeze
\nand the uplifting beats of its wings,
\nso too can You steady me amongst
\nthe bleak feelings rising
\nlike dark bread inside me,
\nand the bright thoughts of sunrise
\nspilling over the lip of a new day.
\nPerhaps there’s one current we swim in.
\nPerhaps there are many.
\nSometimes we need to fight its swiftness
\njust to stay in place.
\nSometimes we need to fight ourselves
\njust to let go and follow Your way.<\/p>\n
