A prayer to pray now
Father, You gave us a sign long ago. A son would be born, and His name would be Immanuel, 'God with us.' Those two words hold the whole story. You did not stay far away. You came close. Whatever room I walk into today, You are already there. Whatever class feels hard, You are in it. Whatever talk I am scared to have, You will be in that room too. Help me walk into this day knowing You are with me. I do not have to go find You. You are right where I am. Amen.
