A prayer to pray now
Father, Psalm 145 says You are near to all who call on You in truth, not in performance. Tonight, let me be honest with You. My day was uneven. I don't need to make it sound better. Help me tell You what was hard, what was good, and what I still don't understand. You are near. Closer than my phone, closer than my own breath. Let me end the day with this: God, You are here. Help me drop the act and just say what is true. Amen.
