The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, 1 Chronicles 4:23 says some potters lived and worked in the king's workshop, doing the king's work right where they dwelt. That is most of my life. The work where I live. The work that may never make the news, but still serves a King. Let me dwell with You at my work today. Not as a nice idea, but as the real way I face this day. The spreadsheet is the king's work. The call I am dreading is the king's work. The conversation with the person nobody likes is the king's work. Give weight to the small tasks by being present with me in them. That is what it looks like to dwell with the king for his work in 2026.
Amen.
