The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, why do I put off simple things? The math assignment is sitting right there. The text to my grandmother is one tap away. Jesus remained silent before Pilate, steady and calm, not needing to prove anything. Sometimes obedience is not loud or dramatic. It is just quiet steadiness while I do what needs to be done. Give me that kind of steadiness. I am not going to wait until I feel motivated. I am going to open the textbook. I am going to send the text. I am going to take the next small step of obedience, whether or not the feeling joins me. The feeling does not have to come. The action is what You see. Make me someone who finishes small tasks instead of arguing with myself about them. Move me.
Amen.
