A Prayer to Release the Mess

A Prayer to Release the Mess

Motherhood can feel like hard, fruitless labor—pouring out everything and still ending up with empty hands and an empty heart. In today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we reflect on Peter’s exhausting night of fishing with no results and the moment Jesus asked him to try again. Against all odds, Peter obeyed and witnessed a miracle..

Reference: Luke 5: 1-9

Prayer: Jesus, I give this messy life to you. These messy kids, my messy attempts to be what they need, our messy, sinful responses to life. I give it all to you. Meet me here in these moments. Help me remember that you are what my kids really need and that I have access to you in prayer, both for myself and my kids, to give me the strength I need to keep going. Help me throw the nets out. Help me throw the nets out one more time. Thank you for hearing when I pray. In Jesus' name, amen.
