The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, Paul writes in Colossians 3 that You are our life — not that You give life, but that You are it. I have been living this season like a phone on low battery, scanning for the next outlet. You are not an outlet. You are the source. Let me live today as someone whose life is held in You, even when I do not feel especially alive. The cold cup on the counter, the slow morning, the tired body — all of it is still held in You. Be my life — not my supplement, not my recharge, just the steady thing under the day. Amen.
