A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, You prayed so hard in the garden that Your sweat was like drops of blood. You were that scared. You were that serious. Sometimes my prayers feel heavy too. Sometimes my chest feels tight and the words are hard to say. I don't have to pretend I'm calm with You. You already know what's real inside me. Be with me when prayer is hard. Take my real words, even when they're messy. Amen.
