The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I tried to pray, and my mind went straight to a dumb argument I had with my sister this morning. But You already walked into this world. You already went to the cross for me. Even my distractions are in a place You have already been. I do not have to clean myself up to be heard. I do not have to focus to be loved. Use these five scattered minutes. Use the half-attention. Use even the thought about my sister. Your Spirit prays in me when I cannot get the words out right. Jesus stands in front of the Father for me, whether or not I stay present. Tomorrow, same time, same chair, same scrambled brain. Showing up is the obedience. Make me a person who keeps showing up. Amen.
