A prayer to pray now
Father, in Your Word, John saw the city You are making new. He wrote that Jesus, the Lamb, is its light. I am not in that city today. I am in a living room with a baby on my chest and the curtains pulled against the heat. But the Jesus who will light that city is the same Jesus who is here with me now. Help me look up, for just one moment, and remember that what You are preparing is real. The Lamb whose name I spoke over the bath this morning is the same one who will light forever. He is the same one. Amen.
