Prayer for young adults

Father, August is here and I am restless. The job I wanted went to someone else. The platform I imagined is not coming. The city I thought I would shape is shaping me instead. Make me a gleaner, Lord. Teach me to gather what others walk past. Help me be faithful in a small corner that does not look like much. Christ, I keep forgetting that small work has dignity. You worked thirty years before You preached. Spirit, lead me to the field today. Steady my hands in the place You have given me. The grain You leave for me is enough, because the field is owned by a Redeemer. Amen.
