The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your word is my meditation all the day. That is what the psalm says, and it is becoming true in me. At first, I could not say it. Now, the verse I read in the morning comes back to me when the news is bad. A line someone shared with me last week returns when I am about to be impatient. I do not have to force it. It rises on its own, like a quiet hum underneath the day. Teach me to love Your word more. Not because I must, but because it has been my food for so long. Let that love grow in me today. Let it be as steady and as near as breathing. Amen.
