The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, the verse I keep coming back to is from 2 Corinthians 12 — Your strength is made perfect in weakness. That is not just a nice line. It is Your promise. Your strength shows up most where I am weakest, not where I am pretending to have it all together.
The weakness this morning is plain. The tiredness in my legs. The thin patience by mid-morning. The small reserves of kindness for the second tantrum. Let Your strength fit into those exact gaps.
I do not need to fix myself first before I can serve. That is not how You work. The weakness is the place. The weakness is the doorway. Move in.
Amen.
