The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You are the God who comforts those who are cast down. Not those who have it all together. Those already low.
I have been ashamed of being low this week. Not in a big way. Just heavy. Slow. Quieter than usual. Wondering what's wrong with me.
You comfort the cast down. I do not have to climb to my feet before You come. Your comfort is for the floor.
Sit with me here. Let the comfort be small. A short stretch of quiet while the baby sleeps. A line in Your Word that meets me. The sense, when I look up, that I am not alone in this kitchen.
There is still joy here, too, even on the hard days. I do not want to miss it.
That is enough for today. Lift me when I am ready.
Amen.
