The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, the hard thing I am carrying right now is not mine to face alone. The medical question we are waiting on. The grief that keeps showing up at odd hours. The friend's marriage that is breaking apart. Christ has been there first. He walks alongside me now. Send His comfort in ways I can recognize. A friend's text at the right moment. A line of Scripture that lands. A few hours of unexpected lightness. I do not need explanation. I need company. You are company. Let me feel that today. Amen.
How to pray it

- Make it personal. Pause where a line meets your day and name the person, fear, or hope it touches before God.
- Carry it with you. Keep one sentence with you — on your phone or in your pocket — and return to it when the day gets loud.
