Grace Found at Downtown Women's Center

Lord, I come to You softly. With a heart that still remembers

the dark. I walked so long without direction, not knowing where to start.

I learned how to smile through the hurting, how to breathe when hope felt

thin. I carried fear like a second skin and wondered if

you still saw me then. I did not know how to ask for help.

I did not know where to go. I only knew I was tired

and I could not do this alone. But you were closer than my

fear, even when I could not see. You were listening to every prayer,
