The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says not to grow weary in doing good, because in due time we will reap if we do not give up. Doing good is exhausting when no one notices. The kind thing I did at home, no one mentioned. The kindness I showed was not returned. I am tired. Help me keep going anyway. I am not pretending it does not bother me. But You see. The harvest is not always in the next hour. It is in due time. I will trust the timing to You. Most of the time, the work no one sees still matters. Even when I cannot see how. Amen.
