The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I love my country, but I belong to Your kingdom first.
You said in Ephesians 2:19 that I am a fellow citizen with Your people. Not a visitor. Not someone just passing through. A citizen.
Keep me from living like I am far from home. My passport is real. My mortgage is real. But my true home is with You. And most of the people I love most are walking this same road.
Change how I work this week. My job is not my identity. My politics do not own my temper. The money I earn belongs to a generous King, so help me be generous too.
Lord Jesus, You are the King I serve. Let my Tuesday show it. Let me walk through my day like a man who knows where home is.
Amen.
