A short, Scripture-shaped grandmothers prayer for an ordinary moment of Christian faith.
The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word tells us to keep going with the same diligence all the way to the end. Hebrews 6:11. You want us to stay faithful every day so our hope can grow strong. I am near the end now, as most older people are. The end may be many years off or just a few. Either way, faithfulness is still my job for the rest of the road. Let me show it today in the small, steady ways within reach. The opened Bible. The remembered prayer. The honest confession when a small sin shows up. The continued love for the people I love. None of these is big or brave. All of them are faithfulness. Strong hope grows out of practiced trust. Let me practice trust this morning. The hope at the end of the road is sure because You are sure. The faithfulness in the middle of the road is mine to bring. Let the two together make me the kind of woman the church is glad to have around. Let me be that, by Your grace. Amen.
