A prayer to increase our faith

Dear Jesus, you are the author and perfecter of my faith. I believe in you—in who you are and what you did for me on the cross and how strong and faithful and loving you are. I do. Until I forget.

I get the call or email or the test result. I have an argument with someone I love. I fail or fall or flounder. I compare myself to others and what they have and what I do not. I question my self-worth, w

“Next to the first Henry and Meg, Henry had written, “Promise?”
Well, that genie’s out of the bottle and there’s no stuffing her back in.”
Laura Anderson Kurk, Glass Girl

“Meg,” he whispered. “It wouldn’t be real love if there weren’t the possibility for another response to him. If we couldn’t choose not to love him, then our love would be empty. That’s why there’s evil in this world, because there’s free choice in this world. He allows the one to prove the other.”
Laura Anderson Kurk, Glass Girl

“Sometimes, in the stillness of my room, my mom’s voice came to me, repeating things she’d said for months. Like, “My skin is melting off my face, isn’t it?” And, “My whole body feels dead from the crap they’re pouring into me. Do I look green to you?” And, “When I’m naked, I can see my heart beating.”
Laura Anderson Kurk, Glass Girl

“He ran his hand from my wrist up to the crook of my elbow and then to my shoulder. “When I was a little kid, my dad would come to my room at night to say a prayer with me. He used to say, ‘Lord, We know there’s a little girl out there who’s meant for Henry. Please protect her and raise her up right.’” His voice changed to something slower and more country when he mimicked his dad. He smiled at the memory, and then he put his mouth near my ear and whispered. “You were that little girl.”
Laura Anderson Kurk, Glass Girl

“His room was dark until he switched on his desk lamp. I sat on the floor next to his bed and watched him counting clothes and considering shoes. He seemed so boyish right then—like he wished his mom would just come in and pack for him. I couldn’t possibly love him any more than I did at that moment.”
Laura Anderson Kurk, Glass Girl
