The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, today was longer than the calendar made it look. I am in bed. My phone is in the kitchen for once. You promised in Psalm 55:22 to hold me up and keep me steady when I bring my worries to You. So tonight I am giving You this one: I am worried that my friend is mad at me. I have not asked her. I have just been guessing. Tomorrow I will ask her plainly and let the real answer take the place of all the ones I made up. Today I was kind to the cashier at the store. But on the way home, I was not kind to my own family, and that is backward. Forgive what was wrong. Receive what was good. Help me say sorry to my mom in the morning, short and simple, without making it a big show. Quiet me into sleep without one more lap. Amen.
