A prayer to pray now
Lord, You told us to get our minds ready, to stay alert, and to keep hoping all the way to the end. So I am asking You: help me focus today. Wake up my brain. When it runs toward worry, pull it back. When I start to think about everything that could go wrong, point me to what You have already promised. Help my hope last past lunch, past homework, past bedtime. Keep it going all day long. Amen.
