Grace in perseverance

I know. 

There are days when prayer and meditation 

Feel empty; like a mailbox that’s been waiting 

For a letter to arrive, but don’t give up; 

You wouldn’t take the mailbox down — 

Keep coming back, keep checking in: 

Don’t be afraid to sit or kneel, but trust — 

There is a blessing in the silence 

And a grace in perseverance.
