From Spill The Beans Issue 34

Thank you, God, for understanding
that we’re not just being awkward
when we keep asking questions:
we really want to know.
Thank you for not getting annoyed
when we niggle, and push,
and won’t take ‘no’ for an answer.
Some things are too important
not to be sure about.
We need to see for ourselves.
Thank you for understanding, God,
when we get upset and frustrated
because we feel left out, and left behind;
when everyone else seems to know
who they are and where they belong,
and we are so unsure.
But you see us, gentle God,
and you know us.
You hear what we’re not saying
behind the words we speak.
Help us to trust you, and to find,
in the trusting,
that you are absolutely true.
Amen.
