The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says we should go to Christ outside the camp. The camp was where everyone gathered. Going outside meant being where the impressive people were not.
I am outside the camp this season. The career conversation. The Sunday small group that meets when my baby naps. I have stepped away from many of those by necessity.
Christ is outside the camp, too. He always was. The lonely parts of motherhood are not far from where He stays.
Do not let me try to climb back into a camp that was never the real point. Meet me out here, where it is quieter and smaller. The most important place is wherever You are.
Amen.
