The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Asaph once said, 'So foolish was I, and ignorant.' I feel that today. I have been short-tempered. I have judged the other moms in my head. I have prayed mostly for the baby to sleep. None of that makes me unsavable. It makes me ordinary, like David, like Asaph, like so many who came before me. Show me my foolishness without crushing me. Take it, and leave me a little wiser by lunchtime. Amen.
