The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You chose the weak and small things of the world. That line catches me off guard and holds me steady. I have felt low this week. Not in some deep way. Just plainly low. Not enough. Not impressive. But You did not wait for me to be at my best. You chose me when I was nothing much. And You are glad You did. So here I am in this quiet chair, in this late and ordinary hour. Send me into the morning as someone happily plain, chosen by You. I do not need to be more to be loved by You. Amen.
