The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says that children are a gift from You, even when the house feels strange, and I am so tired. I have been sighing a lot. Not because I am far from home — I am right here in my own house. But this season feels like a place I do not know yet. I do not want to pretend the sighing is not real. I also do not want to stay stuck in it. So here I am. The house, with its laundry and its quiet and its long nights, is where You have put me right now. Help me be faithful here. This place does not have to feel like home for it to be where You want me. Amen.
