The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Lord, there are traps everywhere today. Things that try to trick me into being mean, or selfish, or quiet when I should speak up. Sometimes the trap is a lie I tell myself. Sometimes it is a thought that says, 'Stay out of it.' Psalm 91:3 says You save us from every trap. Help me see the traps. Help me jump over them. Help me run back to You every time I almost step in one. I cannot spot them all without You. Amen.
