I believe

I prayed tonight.

I haven't prayed for more than 4 years already because I was hurt.

But tonight, I did.

I didn't just wish that people would get better, healthier, stronger, or that the dog who passed away last night would be in a better place.

But that most of all, the world would be a better place.

I can't take away the pain that people feel. But I can only pray that God would give them the strength, courage, patience and compassion to help the people around them, support them, and be there for them.

I don't know if my calls would be heard. But I really wish that they would be.

I haven't asked anything from you, God.

But tonight, I'm asking this:

Please, please make everything better.

Amen.
