The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I sat down to pray, and my phone buzzed right away. I almost picked it up. I did not. That is the win tonight. You raised Jesus from the dead. He is the first to rise, and that means death does not get the last word. The world I am sitting in right now is real. My distraction is real. My half-attention is real. But You are real too. You are not impatient with me on the floor of my room, as I learn to be still for five minutes. Tomorrow, same chair, same five minutes, same scrambled brain. Help me keep coming back to You. Not to look good. Just to be with You. Amen.
