The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, it is hard to imagine being okay again. The thing that has been heavy is still heavy. You have already given me every blessing I need in Christ. I don't have to feel it for it to be true. So help me lean on that bigger truth when the feeling in my chest won't change. Tonight, keep me doing the small, ordinary things. Help me drink water. Help me get to bed at a decent time. Help me send a quick thank-You to the friend who has been checking on me. None of it lifts the weight. But all of it is part of the longer story You are writing. Stamina is the prayer. Hand me a little of it. Amen.
