A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, in Acts 18, You told Paul in Corinth, I have many people in this city. That is good news for me today. You have many people here — the woman in the next pew on Sunday, the friend at the play group I have not really opened up to, the older woman at the library who smiled at the stroller. They are Your people, scattered. Help me look up enough to notice one of them today. The city is fuller of Yours than I think. Let me find one. Let one find me. Amen.
