Prayer for dads

Father, Jesus once invited His friends to breakfast on the beach. Not a meeting. Not a lecture. Just fish, fire, and being together.

I tend to treat time with You like a test I might fail. But some of the best moments in the gospels happen over food, in small groups, with no plan beyond just being with Him.

Help me come to You this week without being so tense. Not every prayer has to be hard. Some can just be the breakfast kind. I sit. You serve. We eat. The air settles.

Lord Jesus, You feed Your people. Feed me today in some plain way. A small clear word from Scripture. An unexpected kindness. A quiet moment in the car line. Help me take it as the meal, not just the warm-up.

Amen.
