Lord of the Liminal Space: Farmer

I’m in a liminal space in 2023 – that means it’s an in-between space arching over what was and what will be. As I recover from my divorce in 2022 and many other losses, I’m seeing this year as a liminal space, and I am acknowledging God as the Lord over it all.

This year, I’m starting something new: an unedited prayer poem every day, written in just five minutes. I’m writing it based on the names of God I find in my One Year Bible readings.

Explore this with me daily in my prayer-poems I’ll post here on my site. Find all of the prayer-poems HERE.

Lord of the Liminal Space – Farmer

Based on this reading from the One Year Bible.

 

O Lord

You are the farmer

planting good seeds

in my life.

Seeds worked into soil

that has been softened

by your tilling

and your rain.

Soil enriched

by the death

of so many things

last year.

 

But the enemy comes

at night

and tries to pluck

the good seeds

from my heart

stealing hope

peace

and joy

before they have had a chance

to take root.

He sows his weeds

of frustration

struggle

and doubt

to grow up

right alongside

the wheat

intended for a great harvest.

 

I am surprised

that you, my farmer

do not wipe

the whole field clean

and start over

without the blockades.

Instead

you allow

the weeds to grow up

side by side

among the wheat

you know

is sure to produce

a harvest of thirty

sixty

or one hundred

times more

and you promise

to bind up

and burn the weeds

when the time is right.
