The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Psalm 29 says to give You the glory due Your name. I am still learning what that means. Help me not just talk about You on Sunday and then forget You the rest of the week. Help me show up where I should be. Help me say what is true. Help me treat people like they matter. Help me take the next right step and not pretend. That is what giving You glory looks like for me right now. Not just a song. A whole life. It takes a whole week, a whole lot of small choices I will not get credit for. Make me someone whose whole life says quietly, You are real and worth living for. Amen.
