Prayer for April 28, 2021

Prayer for April 28, 2021: Please pray with me. Holy God, why is it that humanity takes simple things and makes them over complicated? Maybe we think that things should be more difficult than they are. Maybe we think that we need to struggle. Maybe we think we have to earn your love. Maybe, maybe, maybe…Why do we have such a difficult time accepting that you love us? Maybe we struggle with the very idea of this because we struggle with loving ourselves and others, so we think you do too. Lord, give us the courage to stop trying to make you in our own image and likeness, because that makes you awfully small and weak. Instead, wake us up to see that we are made in your image. Why would we want it any other way? Amen.
