the Why Not prayer

Lord, sometimes I grow fearful

thinking of all the bad things

that could happen

if this or if that happens.

Help me trust you and you alone,

knowing I am safe in your arms,

knowing you care,

you love

and you are more than able

to carry me

through any

uncertainty.

And help me step out in faith,

knowing you are with me

and will guide me

when I need to hear your voice

and feel your hand

leading me to good places.

Swell my chest with enough hope

for today,

knowing tomorrow has enough worry

of its own.

Move my feet to step out.

Stir my heart and move my mind.

Captivate my imagination

with A Dreamer’s Prayer—

Why Not?—

knowing we have

nothing to lose

and only abundance to gain

when we are with you

and you are with me

and I am in you

and you are in me

behind

before

above and below

to my left and my right

within and without

Be found in me so I may be found in you.

Amen.
