Ruth And Boaz Prayer

Father, Boaz blessed Ruth before he knew she would become his wife. He had heard of her loyalty to Naomi. He gave her a meal at the workers' table. He dropped extra grain on purpose so she could gather it. He kept her safe from harm. And from their family line came David, and from David came Jesus. Lord, the small kindnesses of ordinary people move forward through generations in ways no one at the time could have seen. Bless the Boaz people in our churches — those who quietly protect the vulnerable. Bless the Ruth people — those who have stayed loyal at great cost. You see every kindness, even the ones we will not see rewarded in our lifetime. Reward them in Your time, in Your generations to come. Thank You that the line of Christ runs through ordinary obedience. Amen.
