To You I Will Pray “Morning Medication” by Mary Jane Davis

 

Psalm 5:2 “Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I will pray.”

           

Oh what a day to be footloose and fancy free. The patio door is open and the breeze coming in feels divine. Sun pours through the trees and I feel the draw to be outside. I plan to spend my day slapping that deck stain stuff onto my old boards. My old joints are already creaking, thinking about it, but I can’t wait to get started.

 

            Anticipation is a wonderful gift. My niece Dolly anticipates the arrival of her family for a visit to Alabama. I Cinda coming for a week soon. We have shopping to do, you know.

           

I have two dear friends who are, along with their families, stricken with sadness and concern as they stand by their sons who prepare to leave for Iraq. They will wait along with so many others for time to pass and their beloveds to be back home.

 

I can do little to alleviate their pain, yet I’ve learned through experience that it does make a difference when kind friends pray and love you through a time of distress.

Once when I said “all I can do is pray”, Jon said THAT’S the MOST you can do.

So…these boys have become mine to pray for.

            Prayer is anticipation.
