Learning to Walk, Not Run | Your Nightly Prayer

Gracious Lord, I confess that I often rush through life, anxious to get to what’s next. Help me to slow down and rest in Your presence. Teach me to see the beauty in this very moment, and to trust that Your timing is perfect. When I’m tempted to run ahead, remind me that You walk beside me—faithfully, patiently, lovingly. Give me eyes to notice the grace that surrounds me and the patience to walk in step with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
