Prayer for dads

Lord Jesus, Paul told the church, "You belong to Christ." That was said over my head before I had a vote. I keep forgetting that. I keep acting like each day is a test of whether I belong. Sink that one fact into me by lunchtime. I am Yours when the meeting goes well. I am Yours when it goes badly. I am Yours when the kids are proud of me. I am Yours when they are disappointed. So I do not have to perform this morning to still be Yours by evening. That settles something I have been bracing against for years without knowing why. Let me work today out of that settled place. Easy hands. Honest words. No auditioning. Amen.
