A Farmer’s Prayer Before the Freeze
Tonight, we ask for mercy in the cold.
For wind that softens its grip, for temperatures that ease just enough
to let life hold on.
Watch over the animals tucked into straw and wood, the quiet breaths in barns and coops, the ones who trust us without words. Keep them warm where our hands can’t reach.
Bless the fences, the heaters, the water lines, the lamps glowing through the dark.
Bless the tired hands that checked one more time, and the hearts that won’t rest until morning.
We’ve done what we can.
Now we place the rest in Your care.
Carry us through the long night,
and let the morning come gentle.
Amen ♥️
