A prayer to pray now
Lord, long ago, Your people had to go to their enemies just to get their tools sharpened. They could not do it on their own. Sometimes I have to learn from people I do not agree with. The kid in class who is smarter than me. The neighbor who is grumpy but knows a lot. Help me learn from anyone You bring, even people I would not pick. Sharp tools come from unexpected places. Amen.
