A prayer to pray now
Lord, in Numbers 2, there was a group that marched at the back of the line. They still got to carry a flag. Sometimes I am in the back, too. Picked last. Quiet. Not the loudest kid. But that does not mean I do not belong. You see who is at the back. Let me be okay back here today, holding my own flag for You. Being in the back of the line is still being in the line. I am still Yours. Amen.
