The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Lord Jesus, You made me free. That freedom does not mean I get out of this season early. It means this season cannot hold me where it counts. I am free from the verdict I keep giving myself. I am free from the comparison that keeps measuring me against women I do not even know. I am free from the lie that I am behind in my own life. This freedom is real even at three in the morning. Let me carry it lightly today, the way a child holds a small toy in a fist. I do not have to think about it. It is mine. Amen.
