A prayer to pray now

Father, Hebrews 12:2 says to look to Jesus. Two small words that hold my whole life.

I have looked at so many things today. The dishes. The phone. My reflection. The clock. My baby's small face. The unanswered email. None of these is wrong to see. But none of them is where my eyes should rest.

When I look to Jesus, I find what I cannot find anywhere else. His kindness. His plan. His patience. His peace.

I do not have to look up in some big way. Just a small turn of the head, in the middle of the dishes, toward Him. A glance. A whisper. A quiet turning back.

Let my whole day be filled with these small lookings. When I turn to You, everything else finds its place.

Amen.
