A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, You walked into Peter's house and healed his mother-in-law. You stepped into an ordinary room and made it holy. Step into mine. The kitchen where I warm the bottle. The hallway where I pace at night. The crib I lean over. These are not lesser rooms. You belong here. Help me bring You my small worries and plain fears, the way Peter's family did. You came to that house. Be in this one. Amen.
