Our prayers go over the wall,
across the barricade,
and through the closed door,
to those suffering
and those caring for them.
We remain outside the perimeter
while the professionals do their work.
We do ours. On the sidelines and
in the waiting rooms, we pray. We say,
Lord, let your radiant glorious joy
penetrate every barrier and border.
Be it only a momentary spark,
it shall suffice.

How many barriers there are in life that we want our prayers to soar over, physical, as the wall in the photo, but also barriers of distance, of emotional resistance, of attitude and denial. Lord, even though our prayers must fly over all of life's barriers, thankfully, You are always there to hear them. Thank you.
