Prayer for the Waiting and the Becoming

God of creation,

You who breathed life into dust and shaped the unseen into being —

I come to You with open hands and an open heart.

You have stirred something holy within me,

A longing so deep it echoes in my bones.

Thank You for this gift —

Not just the dream, but the capacity to dream at all.

Thank You for the wonder I feel,

For this joy that floods me,

For the sacred ache of wanting something so pure, so life-giving.

If it is Your will, let life take root within me.

Let my body be a safe place, a holy place,

Where Your miracle can grow.

Strengthen me in the waiting.

Steady me in the wondering.

Let peace guard my heart, even when the path is unclear.

Let hope rise like morning light, soft but certain.

Whether the answer comes tomorrow, or in time yet to unfold,

I trust You.

I trust Your timing.

I trust that what You begin, You will carry through.

And in all things, I rest in Your love —

A love that holds me, shapes me, and never lets me go.

Amen.
