The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your word in Proverbs 11:25 says that the one who waters will also be watered. I am tired of always needing more. More affirmation. More attention. More help. Show me one person today that I can be a small bit of good water for. Help me send a real text. Say something true. Offer to help in a simple way. I do not have a lot to give. That is fine. Use what I have. Sometimes the thing that restores me is not being served, but quietly serving. Set me up for one small chance to do that today. You promise that the watering comes back, but not always fast and not always from the same person. I do not need to track what comes back. Help me give something honest to one person and let You handle the rest. Amen.
