A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says some plants grow fast but have no roots, and they die when the sun gets hot. I do not want to be like that. Make me the kind of kid who keeps following You when life gets hard, when my best friend moves. When my grandma gets sick. When I do not feel like praying. Send my roots deep, please. Down where the dry days cannot reach. Down past my feelings into the place where You are. Amen.
