A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, my friend is asking real questions about you, and I don't want to get in the way. You promised that those who seek you with all their heart will find you. Meet them in their searching.
Give me patience to listen more than I talk, honesty when I don't know an answer, and the right moment to say come and see. Draw them to yourself in a way they can't explain away. In Jesus' name, Amen.
