The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, You have done great things for us, and we have reason to be glad. Psalm 126 says it well. Help me practice this. The good things You have done for our family — the prayer You answered, the door that opened when another one closed, the hard season we got through — help me name them out loud. At the dinner table, if the moment is right. In the car, if I am alone. When I name what You have done, my joy comes back. Without remembering, I forget. Without forgetting, my joy gets small and shaped by the news of the day. Pull me back to the bigger story — Your story of faithfulness to us. Amen.
