The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I tried to pray and immediately thought about a video I want to film and then about whether I am hungry. You are the God who lifts up the downcast. You comforted Your people when Titus showed up. Sometimes comfort shows up in a person. Sometimes it shows up in five minutes of quiet that I almost gave up on. Do not let me give up on these five minutes. I am here even when my brain is somewhere else. Use the wandering. Use the half-attention. Use this distracted version of me. Your Spirit prays in me when I cannot find words. Christ speaks for me when I cannot stay focused for one full breath. I do not have to be impressive. I just have to keep coming back. Tomorrow, same chair, five minutes, no judgment. Amen.
