The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, You told Your people to be still and know that You are God. It's still hard for me. My feet want to bounce. My mouth wants to talk. My brain wants to plan. Help me stop trying to run everything. You are God. I am not. Today, help me sit with my hands quiet and my eyes on You. Even a few seconds like that can help me trust You more. You are in charge, not me. Amen.
