The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, in Matthew 6, You said that where my treasure is, my heart will be also. So I look at where my time, money, and attention go, and I see what I am treasuring. Most of it goes to things that do not really matter. Help me move my treasure a little today. One less hour on my phone. One more real conversation. One thing given away that I would have kept. Help me choose what matters at lunch, in group chats, and after practice. I am not waiting to feel different first. I trust that when I move, what I do, my heart will follow. Help me move my time and my money, and let my heart catch up. Amen.
