A short, Scripture-shaped dads prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father,
In Isaiah 14, the dead ask a proud king, "Have You become like us?" That question levels me too.
The people I rank above me and below me will stand on the same ground before You. The mortgage, the title at the office, the size of my paycheck — none of it buys an exception.
Help me work today in light of that truth. Make me less impressed by status. Make me less anxious about my own. Let me treat the assistant and the executive with the same respect, because in the end, You welcome us by grace, not by rank.
Teach me to live now in light of the day I cannot postpone. Help me live well in the time You have given me, not for my name, but for Yours.
Amen.
