The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, my back aches from the way I slept around the baby last night. Peter wrote that after we suffer a little while, You will restore us, make us strong, and set us on solid ground. I hold on to that promise this morning, even when I do not feel settled. You are at work in me, whether I feel it or not. This day will not be perfect, and the long stretch of broken sleep does not mean You have left. You are doing Your slow, good work in this hard season of my life. Steady me through one more hour. I do not have to be the woman I will be in five years today. You are asking me to be faithful in the diapers, the dishes, and the soft humming over the crib. There is even joy tucked inside the tired. Strengthen me without my noticing. That is a kindness I can receive. Amen.
