The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says we get to share in Your own life and in Your own goodness. That thought is bigger than my whole morning, and it holds my morning anyway. I am not trying to become You. I am letting Your kindness, Your patience, and Your steadiness slowly become part of me. Like milk warming a bottle from the inside, not the outside, You change me by being in me, not by asking me to try harder. Let Your patience fill my patience today. Let Your tenderness fill mine. Not striving. Just sharing. Amen.
