Breakfast Bites

DAY 4 OF 7

Just Pray

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by expectations. We want to fit in and to belong, but the formula is constantly changing, and it’s hard to know whose standards we should shoot for: family, work, friends, society, social media...who decides what’s acceptable?

Look carefully at the verse this morning. What must we do in order to be accepted by God? Are we required to have our acts together, our sinful habits conquered, our church attendance perfect? No. Just pray. We pray to God, and he welcomes us in. Scrubbed and shiny, or worse for wear, it’s all the same to him. He sees you, he hears you, and he invites you into his joyful presence.

Father, help me to remember yours is the standard of acceptance that matters most, and that just by praying I’ve already met it. Thank you for loving me as I am. Help me to remember this as I go about my day. 

Many people enjoy the quiet in the morning, and studies show that solitary reflection can improve concentration.
