The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says that Jesus is altogether lovely. I have stopped seeing that. I treat Him like a fact to believe, not Someone beautiful to notice. Restore real affection in me. Not a fake feeling. Real noticing. Help me see how kind He is with broken people. How patient He is when I ask questions I think are small. How He never shows off, even when He could. Let me see Him today as lovely, not just useful. The work I do will go differently if the One I work for has a face I find beautiful. Amen.
