Comfort & Not Alone
John 14:2-3
Father, thank You for the place You have prepared for me. When I feel like I don't belong anywhere, remind me — You built a room for me. I am wanted. I am expected. Come back for me, Lord. I'll be here. Amen.
“In My Father's house are many rooms. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.”
— John 14:2-3
John 14 opens the same night as Jesus's last supper with His disciples, right after He has told them He is about to leave. Their hearts are troubled — He is their teacher, their center, and He's saying goodbye. Into that fear He speaks of His Father's house having 'many rooms,' a phrase evoking a large family home where a returning son would add on space for his household. He tells them He is going ahead not to abandon them but to prepare a specific place and then come back for them personally, so that where He is, they will be too. It is a promise of belonging spoken directly into the fear of being left behind. This is a prayer for feeling unwanted, uprooted, or like you don't have a place anywhere.
A new voiced prayer each day — for the morning, the commute, the sleepless 3 a.m.
