The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You promised through Zechariah that at evening time there will be light. Today's afternoon may stay heavy. But You say the evening will be lit. Not always by the bedside lamp. Sometimes by one short word from my husband that cuts through the day. Sometimes, it's the baby's unexpected smile just before bed. Sometimes, by the verse that comes back when I switch off the kitchen light. Let me trust the small evening light. Your promise is gentle, and it is real. You do not wait for the day to get easy before You keep Your word. Amen.
