A short, Scripture-shaped dads prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Jesus told Nicodemus that we must be born again. Not improved. Not retrained. Born. I still keep trying to fix the old me, even though You said it has to be replaced. There is a quiet stubbornness in that. I would rather repair than die. Take the stubbornness gently. The old man in me is not worth saving. The new one only comes from You. Today, do whatever small piece of that work needs doing. Put something to death that does not belong to the new life. Bring something forward that does. I am not picky about the order or the speed. Just keep at the work. I will stop interfering with it. Amen.
