Chris' prayer: Steven Curtis Chapman's "Free"

I identify with the first part of the song. With all that is going on right now, I don't have much time to rejoice or to stop and enjoy what is going on. I feel like I'm walking across that prison yard in the hot sun toward things that are even worse than prison yards in hot suns. It feels like, under the burden of all the things going on in my life, that this will never end, that things will never get better.

I know better, of course. I know that this struggle is just temporary, and that I will finish all the things I need to know. I know that my burdens will be lifted, and it won't even take all that long for that to happen- a few short weeks. But as much as my head knows this, my heart can't see it.

Hopefully soon, I'll be able to sing about how I'm free, too.
