The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, Your Word says that ordinary people can belong to You. A saint is not a picture in a window. It is just someone You love. That is wild. I am a kid, and You already called me. I cannot earn that. I cannot mess it up by spilling juice or forgetting my chores. Steady me when I start thinking I have to be impressive. Today I want to live like someone You have already named. Take the pressure off my shoulders. You picked me already. Amen.
