A short, Scripture-shaped bible story prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Mary was just a girl when You asked her to carry Your Son. The cost would be high. People would talk. Her name would be at risk. She did not ask for a plan. She did not ask for safety. She said, "I am Your servant. Let it be to me as You said." Bless the women and men today who face hard assignments from You. Give them Mary's yes. That yes is not saying the cost is small. It is trusting that You will hold them through it. You held her. You still hold everyone who says yes to You. Amen.
