The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, I move first and ask later. I pick the plan in my head, then bring it to You for a stamp.

Slow me down. Let me ask before I plan. Not for a big sign. Just a short pause to lay it before You and listen.

You may not answer in words. You may answer in the calm that comes when I stop guessing and start asking. That alone changes my whole day.

Today, before I choose the first thing after breakfast, let me ask.

Amen.
