The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I sometimes forget to talk to You. I get busy with school or my games, and a whole day goes by without one word to You. You told us to keep on praying, and I want to do that better. Not just at bedtime. Not just before food. When I am walking to class. When I am waiting in line. When the bus is loud. Help me remember that little prayers can be quick. They do not have to be perfect. I can just say, Hi, I see You, please help. Amen.
