The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, I do not feel upright this morning. I do not feel full of love either. But I want to love You anyway. The same way I love my baby even when I am too tired to feel tender — by doing the next thing love asks for. By choosing Your name in the hum over the crib. By thanking You for the warm sink water. By refusing the rehearsed grievance. Affection can come and go. I want a steadier kind of love this season. The kind that does the work. Amen.
