The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I want to be the one everyone notices. Even now, even as I pray, part of me is imagining people being impressed that I prayed. You see that. 2 Corinthians 4:18 says to fix our eyes on what is unseen, not on what is seen. The likes are temporary. The reputation I'm building in my head is temporary. So shrink my appetite for being seen. Let me be content being known by You and a few real people. Let me be okay with the friend whose post did better. Let me be okay with being unphotographed today. Help me see what matters most. Not self-hatred. Just truth.
Amen.
