The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, in Luke 1, Mary told the angel, "I am the Lord's servant. May it happen to me just like You said." She was probably fourteen. She said yes to something she did not understand and could not control. I am about her age. There are things You are asking me to say yes to that I do not yet understand. Give me her kind of yes. Not because I have the whole picture. But because I trust who is asking. Mary's yes cost her. People talked. Plans changed. Her whole life shifted. Yes to You usually costs something. Help me say yes anyway. Because saying no costs more in the long run. Amen.
