I asked for gentleness in me, not perfection around me

Dear Delyara, That felt like a more honest prayer than many I’ve prayed before. Less “make the life exact.” More “keep my heart from hardening while life remains uncertain.” I think that is where my spiritual growth lives now — not in grand certainty, but in learning how to remain tender without needing every unknown to disappear first. That tenderness feels precious. And I want to protect it.
