You Can Call From a Confined Place

My dear son,

I listen to the cries of people trapped in darkness. You do not have to find your own way out before asking for help. I am the Father who breaks chains and rescues lives.

When you meet a problem you cannot untangle, bring it to me as it is. You may show me the unfinished struggle. Ask for wisdom about what to do, and remain open to the help around you.

Tonight, remember those waiting for freedom and care. If there is love you can offer them, share it gently. Entrust your own story to me as well, and rest beside the Father who does not turn away from his children.

With all my love,
Your Father
