The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You do not change. Malachi 3:6 says it plain: I am the Lord, I change not. Everything else shifts. The seasons turn. The body slows. The family grows and scatters. The church I love is not what it was years ago. The world around me has changed in ways I would not have predicted. Some changes I welcome. Some I do not. But You are the same through all of them. Your character is the same. Your mercy is the same. Your justice is the same. The Father who knew me when I was young knows me now and will know me at the end. Lord, that is the steadying truth I have leaned on through every season. I do not have to keep up with every change. I do not have to understand all of them in this life. But I do ask You to help me accept what I cannot change and to keep my eyes on the unchanging One in the middle of it all. Today, let me sit at the same Bible, in the same chair, with the same prayer, before the same unchanging Lord. The morning is November-cold. The Father is the same. That is enough to start the day with. Amen.
