The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I have been hiding behind sarcasm. Your Word says my Redeemer lives and will stand for me on the last day. If He is going to stand for me on the worst day ever, I can stop hiding behind jokes right now. Bring me out from behind it. The sarcasm has been my way of saying things I really mean without anyone calling me out. It is not honest. It also hurts the people I aim it at. Take it from me. Help me say at least one sincere thing tomorrow. Not in a big dramatic way. Just one true sentence to a person who matters to me. Make me whole. Honest. Less protected and more known. That is how You made me to be.
Amen.
