The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You have lifted Jesus high above everything. After the cross came the rising. After the rising came the throne. He is not just alive — He is ruling over all.
That changes how I sit here in this rocking chair. I am not bringing my worries to someone far off or half listening. You are the One with all power, holding the whole world together — and holding me, too.
I do not have to make my prayers big enough to reach You. You are already paying attention to a tired mom in a quiet room.
I bring You my baby's cough, my partner's stress, my own quiet fear. The same hand that holds every star will not drop a single one of these.
Amen.
