A prayer to pray now
Father, in Colossians 1, Paul writes about the hope stored up for us in heaven. Stored up like something safe, not spent yet, still growing. Today feels heavy. But the hope is the part that lifts my head. Help me remember once today that my hope does not rest in my circumstances. It is stored up where moth and rust cannot destroy it. The bottle warmer breaks. My hope does not. The dryer breaks. My hope does not. Help me see the difference today. Amen.
