The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, Your Word says we are more than conquerors through You. Not by running away. Not by avoiding hard things. Through You. My list today isn’t big or dramatic. It is a long week at work. A teenager pushing every limit. A friend I miss. But the truth is the same. I do not get through these by escape. I get through them because You are with me in them. Help me face today's small battles like a man who is already on the winning side. Not trying to earn it and already standing in it. Amen.
