I stumbled

Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.

“God,
I have stumbled again,” I prayed.
“Can you forgive me?”

And God said,
“Beloved,
“if you had any idea what I know

that you do not

of your burdens—
how my back aches from them,
and my legs are weak—

you wouldn’t need to ask.”

Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
