A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says Ephraim was a cake not turned, burned on one side and raw on the other. That is me. I talk big about You where it is safe, and go quiet where it costs something. Turn me, Lord. Not just the side people see, but the side only You see. Tonight I will do one quiet thing no one will notice. I will make it right where I was wrong, even if no one was watching. I am not just announcing a turn. I am asking You to turn me. And I know I have prayed this before. Still, I come back. Take me again. Amen.
