The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, Pharaoh told the people to go worship, but not to go far. That is my kind of compromise, too. Yes, I will pray, but not for very long. Yes, I will give, but not enough to change the budget. Yes, I will serve, but only when it is easy. Show me where I am still cutting deals with You. Help me go all the way. Not far enough to be noticed. Just far enough that the compromise is broken. By tonight, let me do one thing I have been holding back. Amen.
