A prayer to pray now
Father, I want to be the same person at lunch as I am at home and online. Jesus, You took the hit so the people with You could go free. I don't know what to do with that kind of love except let it change how I live. Help me go into today without switching faces between classes. Let the friends I joke with at lunch see the same person who sat at dinner last night. Let my family see the same person who is patient with strangers. Make my life match what I post. Make me one person, not a bunch of different ones. I don't have to perform it. I just want it to be quiet and true, day after day. Give me this morning.
Amen.
