subscribePrayers for My Friends
Tuesday, May 29
We've got time. It's so easy to panic but we've got time. I've got time to find you and lose you and find you again. Don't you believe me? Have faith. You are my friend, even when you don't call, even when you are far away, even when you struggle, even when you call too much. Hours and days we've got time. Life is demanding, there is so much distaste to swallow, and sometimes we all feel like we are done. Sometimes we choke and sometimes we feel like giving up. Sometimes I want to cry and sometimes I want to protect myself, protect you, and hold on tight to keep you safe from harm. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and don't stand by and listen to others who say such things. Don't tell me I'm overreacting. Don't stand in my way. Stand with me and stand tall, as bold as love. I know I don't know you and I know I don't know anything. I know I walk and talk like a fool but I feel a sandstorm pushing me away from what I know, from grace, from the silent growing confidence pressing out from inside my chest. I won't stand for it and I won't let it wear me down. When the storms pass you may be gone, you may be different, I may have changed. But we've got time and I have yet to panic. I have yet to stand with you and really know what this all means. I've still got time. We've still got time. We have time to set this right. Hallelujah.
I'd rather dance and talk with you under moonlight towers than meet under a midday summer sun, but I'll find my way to you wherever you are, just in time. I'd rather know much more and feel much more with honesty and fullness than stop my heart and sit in sadness. I know I need to learn how to smile.
I'd rather empty myself of foolishness and spend my idle time writing, painting, emboldened by others who allow life to flow over them and through them. Life is a prayer and a river and love is an ocean. And I've got nothing to prove. I've got time. I've got nothing but time.

You don't have to play
You can follow or lead the way
I want you to join together with the band
We don't know where we're going
But the season's right for knowing
I want you to join together with the band.
It's the singer not the song
That makes the music move along
I want you to join together with the band
This is the biggest band you'll find
It's as deep as it is wide
Come on and join together with the band
- Join Together, the Who
