On edge

Who’s not on edge?

We’re all on edge.

Desperate

Angry

Confused

Worried

Sad

Outraged

What’s got you on edge?

What got you here?

What’s your leading emotion?

What do you want to shout from the edge?

I’m on edge too.

Maybe for the same reason

Maybe not

What can have us all here

Might be the same

Might be an issue we didn’t know about

Might be for ourselves

Might be for someone else

Carrying on with our day

Carrying a chip on our shoulder

Carrying grief in our heart

Carrying the next generation

In our car

the stroller

the womb.

Being on edge

Puts us close to the ledge

And all hell could just break loose in us

if we let it

Being on edge

Puts us close to the ledge

And all heaven could just catch us

if we let go

I’m here on the ledge with you

You’re not alone

Let’s let go together

I’ve been here before

The God of heaven

Will catch us

I promise

It’s a better place to be

Mentally

Spiritually

Physically

Communally

The enemy stands on the ledge too

To taunt us

To rile us

To divide us

People being on edge

Is an opportunity to pray -

We let go and let Him

fill our hearts with love.

We let go and let Him

Come close to our broken hearts.

We let go and choose

To pray for our enemies.

We let go and do for one

What we want to do for many.

If you’re on edge today

See this as an opportunity

To pray for those who are also on edge

No matter what.

That we all choose

to let heaven break through

And let revival begin in me and you.

-written from my neighborhood library

Where signs and languages abound

Where differences are evident

And I smile because of it
