The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father,
Luke 2 says there was no room for them in the inn.Jesus came, and the world was just too full to hold Him.
Show me where I have not made room for You this December.I am over-scheduled.I am over-tired.I am over-distracted.
Help me clear one corner.Not the whole calendar.Just one quiet place where You can show up.A still moment.A slow breath.One open space in my week.
The inn was not mean.It was just full.Most of my “no” to You is like that, too.Not a hard no.Just a full life.
Help me empty one slot.You came in a stable before.You can come into the smallest space I make.One corner is enough.One corner can change this whole season.
Give me the courage to make it,even when my week fights back.
Amen.
