bedraggled

Old prayer for brokenness

God, Please let me back among the broken, meek, and humble. I don't know how much longer I can handle being among those who know it all, have it all together, and are unwilling to be broken, uncomfortable and bedraggled. Please let me be back in a place where it is okay to be bedraggled, ruffled, confused, and searching. Back in a place where we believe you reach down in our discomfort and humility and embrace us.

My heart aches for brokenness and the freedom to be such.

This is for the wounded birdswhose lives esculate the broken airways over the waves of dispair.

this is for the bedraggled friends whose life is a constant coffee spill staining your shirt in a way...

that? works?

this one is for the hopeless plastic sack whose weightlessness floats aimlessly in simplistic beauty none can match
