🕊️ The Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Open my eyes to what I’ve been allowing — not from love, but from fear, guilt, or old survival patterns. Show me where I’ve been mistaking loyalty for self-neglect, and peacekeeping for people-pleasing.

📖Story of the Day

One man felt deeply indebted to God after narrowly escaping a danger that could have taken his life. He asked his friend what he should do to properly thank God. In response, the friend told him a story.

A man deeply loved a woman and asked her to marry him. But she had very different plans. One day, they were walking together, and at a crosswalk she was almost hit by a car. She survived only because the man acted quickly and pulled her back just in time. She turned to him and said, “Now I’ll marry you.”

“How do you think the man felt in that moment?” the friend asked.

But instead of answering, the man just curled his lips in displeasure.

“See,” the friend said, “maybe you’re making God feel the same way right now.”

📖Why This Prayer Matters

Because tolerating what breaks you isn’t love — it’s delay. And staying silent doesn’t make it holy — it just keeps the cycle going.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Stay aware and stay prayerful,
