The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says that if I claim to walk with You but live in the dark, I am not being honest. I do not want to pretend. The small dark places in me are not big or loud. They are quiet. A small unkindness I have not let go. A quiet grudge I am still holding. Pride in my own opinions. None of it is hidden from You. Today I do not want to sit in the dark corner anymore. I want to walk into the light. Help me name one thing. Just one quiet thing. Then help me take one small step the other way. That is enough for today. Let my fellowship with You be real, not pretended. Amen.
