The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word records Job saying, "I am vile." That is the most honest thing he said. I feel a strange relief in those words. Not despair. Just honesty. The story I tell myself — that I am basically good with a few rough edges — does not hold up when I really look. But the looking does not destroy me. Your grace in Christ holds me still. So let me walk through that door today. "I am vile" and "I am Yours" can be said in the same breath. Let me say both. Amen.
