The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, Your Word says that when I feel most sure of myself, that is when I need to watch out most. Right now, life feels steady. My marriage is okay. Work is on track. Church is steady. Nothing is falling apart. But that is exactly when men like me fall. Not in the storm. In the calm. So show me where I am getting careless. Is it a conversation that is too friendly? Is it one more drink than I planned? Is it pride hiding under the way I see myself? Bring it out now, before it becomes something I cannot fix. I would rather feel embarrassed today than be ruined down the road. Amen.
