A prayer to pray now
Father, in Numbers 14, You asked how long it would take for Your people to believe You. I read that, and I think, ouch. I am one of them sometimes. You showed me something kind on Monday, and by Friday, I act like You never did anything. I am sorry. Keep showing me anyway, please. Help me remember longer this time. Build my memory with patience and second chances, the way You build everything else. Amen.
