Let me meet the worry of the day with sweet concern. Urgency with deliberate care. Desperation with methodical practice.
I have a garden plot. I do not do the growing for these green shoots. I water and weed the soil. My greatest virtues here are patience, consistency, and loving devotion.
Lord, let me walk slowly and with care in the face of all that is frantic.
(Letter #1,833)
