A prayer to pray now
Heavenly Father, Your Word says I am just passing through this earth. My real home is with You. That changes how I see today. I do not have to grab the biggest piece or the best seat. I do not have to build my whole life around things that will not last. I am a stranger here, but I am Your stranger. Help me be kind to the kids at school, to my neighbors, and to everyone I meet today. Amen.
