The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You said that when I listen to You, I will be safe. I want that. But listening is hard for a kid. There are screens and brothers and bird noises and my own loud brain. Teach me how to listen. Not the fake nodding kind, but the kind where my heart actually slows down. When I do listen to You, fear gets smaller. Make me a listener today. I want my ears tuned to Your voice the way a dog's ears tune to its name. That quick. That glad. Amen.
