A short, Scripture-shaped new mothers prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says in 2 Peter 3, "To Him be glory both now and forever." Not someday when life is easier. Now.
It is so easy to wait. To think I will give You praise when the baby sleeps through the night. When my body feels like mine again. When I can find the couch under the mess.
But glory is for now. The glory in this house is the simple fact that You are honored when I get up at three and feed her one more time. It is also the quiet joy of holding her close in the dark.
Let my small, ordinary obedience today be an offering of glory. Not impressive. Not noticed. Real.
Receive it as You receive larger offerings, and let me return to the chair lighter.
Amen.
