The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Jesus said He is the vine, and we are the branches. A branch has nothing on its own. It only bears fruit because it is connected to the vine.
I have been pretending I should have more in myself than I do. I have been irritated with my own limits, as if being tired means I have failed.
It does not. I am a branch. I never had a deep well inside me. I have what You give me throughout the day, and at night I have less.
Thank You for the gift of this child and for every small mercy today. I do not want to fight against the limits You gave me. Feed me. Let me draw from You for the next hour without apologizing for needing to do so.
I will not be ashamed of needing You today.
Amen.
