Mystical Gardens Tale
Before You Enter the Garden
There are seasons when our prayers feel like they vanish into the wind. When the words we’ve spoken a hundred times come out hollow, when we lose the words to pray, and Heaven feels so far away.
If you've ever ran out of words and no longer have what it takes to pray, this story is for you.
The Silent Prayer
She had prayed and prayed until her voice broke and her tears ran dry. Every word she could think of to pray she’d already said. Every plea, every promise, she had prayed until every bit of hope had fled.
Now, when she tried to pray, her mind went blank. She had no words left. Her heart whispered, What’s the point? She felt like she was talking through a broken phone line and her words went nowhere.
That afternoon, she wandered without a destination, her thoughts were as heavy as her steps. Then she noticed a single flower blooming a few feet from the path she was on. Its color was brighter than any she had ever seen or that she could remember. Something about it stirred her heart, and she stepped off the path, finding herself standing at the edge of a garden she didn’t remember ever seeing before.
The air shimmered with light, soft and alive.
In the middle of the beautiful garden stood an amazing tree whose leaves rustled and sang quietly in the breeze. The trees branches swayed toward her. She felt a tickle in her mind a if it was trying to speak. As if that were possible.
If only she could have heard. The tree was trying to talk to her. It was trying to show her that every bloom in that garden was like a prayer answered in its own time. How the tree wished she would listen, but knew that her heart was too tired to hear.
She sat on the soft grass and leaned down to smell the flower. Its fragrance was sweet and calming.That’s when a white bunny hopped from behind the flowers and into her lap. Its fur was so soft and she stroked it absently, finding comfort in the stillness. It was in that quiet that she heard a voice so soft she almost missed it:
“Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop praying. What you planted in tears is about ready to bloom.”
She blinked, and the whisper was gone.
Setting the bunny down, she left the garden, unaware that Dustaysha, the little white rabbit, followed quietly behind her, a small folded paper tucked carefully in her pouch.
At the edge of the garden, Dustaysha dropped the paper onto the path. It was a torn page from a diary. The ink was faded, but it was still legible:
"My mind had to be silent before my heart could understand what God was trying to tell me."
Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24
She read the words, and something inside her stirred with recognition. She finally understood the message God was sending.
The next morning, she looked out the window in awe. Beside the sidewalk leading up to her house bloomed the same flower she had seen in the garden. A petal caught the sunlight and shimmered. For the first time in a long while, she smiled.
Maybe she did have another prayer inside her. Silence wasn’t the end of her prayers, it was just a time to listen to what God had to say.
