The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Dear God,
Jesus told us to look at the birds. They do not work. They do not store food away. And You still feed them.
I worry about so many things I do not need to worry about. What if I do not fit in? What if my mom loses her job? What if I do not have a friend at the new school?
The birds do not worry about any of that. They just fly.
Help me fly today.
Amen.
