The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, the trial in my hands today is not heroic. It is small and grinding. The broken nights. The lonely afternoons. The unanswered prayer I have carried since before the baby came. The trial is real. My faith is being tested in it. Do not let me waste this hard season by just wishing it away. You are the one who grows faith in me, even here. Let this small, steady pressure make me steadier, not smaller. The pressure is not punishment. It is the slow making of something I will be glad of later. Amen.
