Prayer

Jig-saw Puzzle

Lord I feel like a jig-saw puzzle

right out of the box.

I’m searching for border pieces.

Trying to match up the pieces that fit.

Looking for like colors and patterns.

Wondering what the big picture looks like.

I imagine the picture being

me standing before You,

and You saying,

“Well done good and faithful servant.”

Lord, what is it that I’m supposed to be doing well?

Am I even close?

Lord, I ask for wisdom,

and as I put these little pieces together,

I trust that they are the right pieces

and Your head is bent over the puzzle

as we work on it together.

Eventually the big picture will come to pass,

And I will hear the words I long for,

“Well done!”
