A Pedal Prayer Poem by JoAnn McGrath

A Pedal Prayer
'God blesses the people who patiently endure testing.
Afterwards they will receive the crown of life that God
has promised to those who love Him.'
(James 1: 12)



Dear Lord,

I guess I'm failing at enduring your testing.
I'm not learning what you want to teach.
I'm riding that tandem bike up a steep hill.
I have left you in the back seat
and I am trying to do all the work alone.
Maybe I want to forget you are even there
It's so hard to put you in the front seat
and let you pedal.
