The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Jesus said that rivers of living water would flow from the deepest part of a believing person. Not only from the strong seasons, but from the same person in every season. I have known the rivers. I have known the dry stretches, too. Your promise was not just for one or the other. It was made to the person who believes, all the way through. Let the rivers flow today, even if quietly. The grandchild I will see tomorrow does not need a flood from me. She needs a little fresh water at the right moment. She needs one true word from a Bible I have had more time to learn. She needs one act of attention that is unmistakably hers. The rivers can do that without my forcing them. Let me believe again this morning the verse the rivers are connected to. Let Your Spirit unblock the inner spring. Out of one old believing life, let a little water move into the day You have arranged. Amen.
