The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says, Thou whom my soul loveth. That is who You are to me. After all these years, I do not have to argue for this love. I just know it. I have loved You longer than I can remember not loving You. I found You when I was young, and I have not stopped. Lord Jesus, love is not the fresh feeling of a girl anymore. It is more like the steady knowing of someone who has lived in the same house for fifty years and knows the sound of every floorboard. I love You. I do not have to perform it. It is a quiet climate throughout the day. Today let that love come out in small things — in the meal I share with a friend, in the patience I show the cashier, in the prayer I lift for my granddaughter. I still love You. That has not changed and is not going to. Amen.
