Sidewalk Prophets

The sidewalk prophets have struck again.

LORD4giveME.

For anyone aware of their screw-ups and sins, this prayer prompt can be sweet medicine.

Grateful for the unexpected reminder, I lower myself to the pavement. Straining to get the shot, I squint heavenward.

I feel out of place down here. Contorted. Awkward. Exposed.

I’m no longer in control.

But maybe a repositioning is necessary for the experience.

If my world were upright and manageable, I probably wouldn’t even utter the words.

And if I weren’t lying here quietly, I might miss the whisper in return:

“Forgiven.”

“I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.”
1 John 2:12
