The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Dear God, Your Word tells me to be glad, to keep praying, and to give thanks in everything. I cannot do that perfectly, but I can take one bite. Today I will try to stop once every hour and thank You for one real thing, like the food in front of me or the people at my table. I will forget. When I forget, please remind me. I do not need to count my tries. I just want to turn my heart toward You a little more before this day is done. Amen.
