The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, the sidewalk is hot today, and my hair is sticking to my neck. Summer feels really long. You said You have living water that never runs out, not in summer and not in winter. You do not dry up when it is July. You do not freeze when it is January. You are the same God in every kind of weather. I want a drink of You today, the kind that goes deeper than a popsicle. When I am hot and grumpy, when I snap at people or do not want to play, remind me that You are still right here. I want to be a kid who runs to You when the day starts melting me. Thank You for staying steady when nothing else does. Amen.
