Prayer for teens

Father, tonight I sat on the porch with my dad in silence for ten minutes, and it was good. You made me laugh today — a small, quiet laugh, just a little gladness at the end of a regular day. Thank You. There was a real moment of laughter with a friend at lunch, a kind gesture from someone at school, and a sunset that was too much to take in. But I also told a small, unnecessary lie in second period, and I have been ignoring it since. I am sorry. Tomorrow I will make it right — one sentence, no speech. Receive what was real today and forgive what was sin. Quiet me into sleep without one more replay. Amen.
