The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Heavenly Father, You told us to remember the poor. I do remember sometimes. The man on the corner with the cardboard sign. The kid at school whose backpack is broken and held together with tape. But remembering is not enough. Help me actually do something. Give a granola bar from my lunchbox. Sit next to someone alone in the cafeteria. Help me be quiet, kind, and ready to help today. You see what I cannot see. Show me where to start. Even one small thing. Amen.
