The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, John writes about being close to You. The word fellowship sounds like a meeting I might miss. But it is not a meeting. It is a way of being. I am in fellowship with You even when I forget. Even when I have not opened the Bible in three days. Even when my prayer has been thin, being close to You is older than my attendance. Send me into the morning as someone who is already in. You do not walk away when I walk out the door. Walk with me through the small repeating tasks today. Washing bottles. Folding clothes. The walking together is the fellowship. Amen.
