The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, here is a bold prayer I am usually too polite to pray — so I will pray it anyway. Remember the promise You made to me. Remember the word You spoke through Scripture about Your faithfulness. Remember the word You spoke when I gave my life to You. Remember the promise that has steadied me through harder seasons than this one — the long nights, the heavy choices, the days I showed up tired. You will remember. I know You will. But there is something honest about asking You anyway. It keeps me leaning on You, not on my own memory of You. Amen.
