The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Paul wrote, "We live unto the Lord." That is the point of being alive at all. My reasons for living shift through the day. I live for my family. I live for the work. I live for my kids' future. I even live for myself too much. Paul does not say none of these matters. He puts You above them all. We live unto the Lord. All the smaller reasons fit under that one. Realign me today. Whatever I do — for the kids, for my wife, for the boss, for myself — let it be done for You. I do not have to serve six masters. I get to serve one, in all the roles You have given me. Amen.
