A prayer to pray now

Father, Jesus said that we must be born again. This baby was born once. I was born once into this body that is so tired this morning, and once into Christ.

I sometimes forget that second birth. I run my whole day on the energy of the first one. That energy runs out by mid-afternoon, and I am surprised every time.

But the second birth has a different kind of strength. Your Spirit is alive in me. Your mercy. A weight of glory that holds up under ordinary hours.

Let me draw from that today. Not just from caffeine. Not just from how well I slept. From the new life You put in me when You called me.

Wake that second life inside the first. Let my mothering today come from there.

Amen.
