A prayer for all occasions
One of my favorite Christmas presents was a little book called “Prayers for Girls”. Inside it had a prayer for literally every possible occasion an eight year old girl could encounter. A prayer for saying good morning, a prayer for midday, a prayer for bedtime, a prayer for deep sadness and little sadness, a prayer for the simple joys of playing with friends!
For many years that little book sat on my nightstand, reminding me that we can pray about any and everything. Not only that, but we should be praying about everything! James, ever the practical advice giver, says, are you in trouble? Pray!! Are you in a good place, happy with life? Pray!! Sing songs of joy and thanksgiving!
I admit, as simple as this concept is, I still sometimes find myself praying mostly out of my needs or wants. What a great reminder, to know that there is no occasion to big or small, too happy or sad, that can’t be addressed in prayer!
