The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says, "Our God will bless us." Our God. Mine. Not just the God of the people I admire. Not just the God I read about. You are the One right here with me.
I have been treating You like You belong to someone else. Like You are closer to the people who seem to have it all together. But You are my God. I belong to You. My kids belong to You. My wife belongs to You.
Bless us today. Not with something big or flashy. Bless us with the strength to do the small things in front of us. Bless us with each other. Bless us with enough health to get the work done.
None of this is promised. All of it is a gift. Help me receive it that way today.
Amen.
