Prayer 26

Lord, you have started some amazing things inside of me.
Pleasant things. Peaceful things.
My heart was once a blood-pump for a productivity vessel,
but now it is a bonfire for butterflies that flutter around my chest to warm their frosted wings. And I'm always trying to cool the fire, because I'm still not used to this uncanny joy.
And I'm always turning away, because I'm still trapped in this dimension of death and limitation. But the Apostle Paul comes to me with his crystal ball. He reads my palm:
"He who began a good work in you will carry it through."
Forgive me when I distract myself from you.
Guard my heart.
Carry me through.
[Philippians 1:6]
