The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I have my own quiet failure I keep thinking about this week. The way I spoke to my husband. The friend I have not called back. Like Peter, I remember what I did wrong, and it hurts. Let me weep over it for as long as is honest, and then stop. You do not lecture me into change. You return me. Return me to the next ordinary task — the bottle, the laundry, the baby's bath — without the weight of yesterday still pressing down on this room. Amen.
