The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, consider the Bible I have--its age and where it came from. Perhaps the cover is held together with tape. Perhaps, its margins are full of dates and arrows and the names of people I have prayed for. If there are notes, they are my own younger handwriting that I do not always remember writing. Yet the verses inside are still doing what they did then. They are still wondrous and glorifying. Open my eyes again this morning. Not to a different Bible. Not to a harder one. To the same one with new sight. Let me see something today I did not see at thirty-five. Let me see something today that I stopped seeing 20 years ago. Your wonder is still here. My eyes need You to do their part again. Amen.
