The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, John 1 says the Word became flesh and lived with us. Jesus did not stay far away. He came close, with hands and feet and tiredness. As Thanksgiving comes, help me see that You are not just an idea. You came near enough to be touched. Make me close to the people in my house, to my friends, and to the kid at school with no plans. You chose closeness. I often choose distance. This week, help me close some of that space. One real talk. One neighbor noticed. One Thanksgiving closer than last time. Amen.
