Dad’s Prayer for October 6th
A short, Scripture-shaped dads prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Jesus said the water He gives becomes a well inside a person, springing up to eternal life. That is the opposite of how I usually think. I act like I have to find You, but You already put the spring inside me.
I have been treating my faith like a commute. Sunday is when I refuel. The small group is the watering hole. But the verse says the spring is in me, given by You, available at the office, in the kitchen, and at 3 a.m. when I cannot sleep.
Help me notice what is already there. The quiet push I usually brush off. The peace that surprised me on an ordinary afternoon. The clear thought You sent in the middle of a hard talk. These came from the well You planted.
Lord Jesus, You said You give the gift that does not run dry. I receive it again today. Let me draw quietly from it through the next twelve hours.
Amen.
