I don’t know Laura Jean Truman from Eve, but I’m praying this prayer anyway:
“God,
Keep my anger from becoming meanness.
Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self-pity.
Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.
Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty.
Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.
Amen.” — Laura Jean Truman [1]
[1] I originally shared this prayer on October 8, 2018, one day after Truman posted it on twitter. The Link no longer works, but I’m leaving it up anyway. Laura Jean Truman. Twitter post, October 7, 2018, 9:56 p.m., http://bit.ly/2NtxCTJ.
