A @griefs+graces prayer by Shelly Schwalm
Pull up the weeds of comparison and envy.
Pull up the weeds of being harsh and hurried.
Pull up the weeds of insecurity and isolation.
Pull up the weeds where my love has lacked.
Pull up the weeds in me, Lord, as my hands tug at these
unruly roots.
Let only the fruit of Your Spirit bloom in this place. That
the seeds of life from You, O Christ, would take root and
grow as a tested tree, beautiful, steady, and pointing to
the goodness of its Maker. w
