A prayer to pray now
Dear God, You told David to ask before he fought. He did not just run in. He checked with You first. I am a kid. I do not have battles like that, but I have choices. Who to sit with at lunch. What to do when someone gets picked on. Whether to tell the truth when I mess up. Help me ask You first, as David did. Even a quick prayer before the next thing. Amen.
