The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, You called me, and I want to receive that word today without flinching. I am not a saint in the way I picture saints. I am a tired woman with a stained shirt and a long mental list. But You called me. Quietly, without fanfare. Quietly enough that I forget it most days. Free me from the comparison that runs in the background. The other mother who looks rested. The friend without children. The version of myself I thought I would be by now. I am called. That is the only resume that matters this morning. Let me work this day as someone You have already named. Amen.
