Prayer for dads

Lord Jesus, You sweated blood in the garden. Your obedience cost You everything. Mine has not cost me much right now. A few inconveniences. A little reputation. Nothing close to blood. So today I will not make my small sacrifices sound big. I will not act like getting up early to pray was heroic. I will not call my kindness at work "carrying a cross." Keep me honest, God. When something harder comes — and it will — let me not look away. For now, help me see what You really paid. Let that change the way I live this ordinary day. Amen.
