I’m In the Middle with You is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.
Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday. Today’s prompt is “Middle,” and here is my prayer/poem.
I’m In the Middle with You
Jesus,
I’m in the middle with you
between your first arrival
as a baby
and your second coming
as the glorious King of kings.
Though I don’t know
how long this period will last
nor how long my life
will span in this time
you know all things
and walk beside me.
I’m in the middle with you
in my seasons of waiting
when I know I’m in too deep
to back out
but aching with pain
before the answers arrive.
Yet your constant presence
comforts me
in the shadowed unknown.
I’m in the middle with you
now in my fourth decade
assuming I’ll have four more
or if you will
perhaps five or six remain.
Looking back on all your faithfulness
in years of hurt and struggle
on one side of this mountain
then focusing on the brightly lit
horizon ahead
with hope stored in my heart
as you take my hand
and walk forward with me.
