We praise you for caring for our needs, big and small.
Most of the time we take this for granted-
and our expectations rise.
So thank you for a certain grace today-
a specific and surprising grace.
The grace in which we see our need for what it is-
and look to you in desperation.
How sweet it is that you never use vulnerability against us!
No. You revel in the moment to abundantly give.
And you don't just give us arbitrary things-
you give yourself in flesh and blood.
Give us faith in these times-
and teach us to take hope in our neediness.
Though tomorrow's needs are finding us today,
sustain us in a child's sweet ignorance and peace.
Amen.
