The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, before I rush into today with my own plan already running, set me low. Not low in self-worth — low in the sense of small, willing to listen, willing to learn. Proverbs says that learning to respect You is where wisdom starts, and that humility comes before anything good. So here I am. The day will pull me in twelve directions before lunch. The friend who needs a ride. The assignment I forgot. The boring conversation at the dinner table. Whatever You set in front of me, let me do it without checking how it ranks. All of it is the day. None of it is wasted if it is done with You here. Hand me the next ordinary hour. Amen.
