The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, today is a big-flag day. People are loud and happy and eating outside. Your Word says You set apart the people who hear Your truth. That means You make me Yours, not because I am loud or strong, but because You speak and I listen. Even on a night full of fireworks, what makes me Yours is that You call me Your own. Let me be a kid who belongs to You, not just to a country or a team or a crowd. Keep me close while everyone is celebrating. When the loud parts get a little scary, remind me that You are louder than any boom in the sky. Amen.
