Leaving room in our efforts.
Growing a garden — am I master of the plants, do I direct the bounty?
❖
The plot is cleared, the soil turned, the rows dug. The peppers will grow no sweeter for being in a straight line.
And yet I worry over the color of the fence.
Lord, let me leave room for you to work your daily miracles. Enter this garden, and cause it to grow.

Consider:
How can I leave room for miracles to take place?
