A prayer to pray now
Jesus, when You died, the big curtain in the temple tore from top to bottom. It was like a wall between people and God. Now the wall is gone. I can come right to You. Right now. From the kitchen table. From the bus stop. From under the covers when I cannot sleep. Thank You for tearing down the wall, Jesus. I could never have made it through on my own. Amen.
