Lord, the day is folding up. The dishes are mostly done. The kids are mostly settled. The work is mostly behind me.
Thank You for "mostly." It is more than I had a right to.
Slow my hands. Slow my thoughts. Slow the urge to start the next thing before I have finished this one.
I do not need to maximize the night. I need to receive it.
Help me see the day not as what I failed to finish — but as what You walked me through. The mercy stretched. The patience that came from somewhere. The moment I almost lost it and didn't.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
