The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Dear God, Your Word says that the hard stuff I face is stuff other kids face too. When I feel jealous, when I want to tell a lie, when I do not want to share — those are normal kid struggles. I am not weird for having them. You promised to make a way out when things get hard. Show me that way today. I know I am not the only kid who has felt this way. You have helped so many kids before me. Help me too. Amen.
