A prayer to pray now
Father, I believe in You with my head, but my hands keep moving on their own. I rush. I sigh. I snap. Today, let my steps match Your Spirit in me. When I want to walk in anger, walk me gently. When I want to rush past the people You love, slow me down. You are in me. Help me stay close to You, one small step at a time. Amen.
