An honest prayer02 / 90
A prayer to begin with
God, let Your love set the starting point for my day. Free my work from auditioning.
Stay with this
The scorekeeping can start before your feet reach the floor. Yesterday’s patience: questionable. Today’s list: already behind. Ephesians 1 takes us further back than either of those reports, to God’s choosing in Christ before the world began.
That changes the reason for your next good thing. You can answer the email, apologize, or help your neighbor as someone already loved. The work matters. It simply doesn't have to carry the impossible assignment of making you worth loving. Let the scorekeeper put down her clipboard. There is a whole day to receive and live.
You can take this slowly.
