The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, there are things in my life that feel way too big. The pressure to fit in. The opinion that makes me afraid. The rejection I keep thinking about. But they are not bigger than You. You are bigger than Assyria. You are bigger than my school. You are bigger than the algorithm. Help me stop treating these things like they deserve my worship. They do not. You are the only One who does. I am not asking to be rude or mean. I am asking for a quiet backbone inside me. Help me see that fear makes threats look bigger than they are. And the right view of You makes them small. Make me act like I really believe that. Amen.
