The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:24.
Father, this verse shows me the kind of going I want when my time comes. Not a fall. Not a sudden end. Just a walk that keeps going past what I can see.
Enoch walked with God for years. The walking was the gift. The taking was God's grace at the end. I am not trying to plan my last day at this kitchen table. I am only saying I trust You to take me gently and at the right time.
Until then, the walking is what matters. Stride for stride. Day after small day. The quiet faithfulness that does not get a verse in Genesis but fills an ordinary life with You.
Walk me through this week. Take me when You take me. Until then, keep me on the path. My step is shorter now, but it is still moving forward. And You have never once failed to keep me company.
Amen.
