The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, in John 15, You say, "I have chosen You out of the world." I did not win a contest. Your love came to me before I even noticed. Today I see other lives — women without children, mothers with help, influencers with a clean kitchen — and I do not have to win those lives. You already chose me. Send me into this day from that place, not from trying to earn it. Your choosing was the start of the love, not the result. Amen.
