14 Prayers for a Widow's Journey預覽
...forgetting what lies behind...
Lord, I feel guilty when I start to feel better. It’s like grief says, “You need me, kiddo. I’m the only one who keeps him alive for you. As long as you ache, you won’t forget him. You start to hope, and he’ll disappear.”
I know that’s a grievous lie. He won’t ever leave me. But it’s true that opening myself to hope will force him to stand aside so I can learn to live with less of him. This is both a harsh truth and the key to living fully again.
Jesus, give me the grace to press on.
One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
