Prayer of the Day

Lord, quiet the part of me that always needs to be right, to be noticed, to be first.

It is loud, and it is tired, and it has never once made me happy.

Give me instead the freedom of the low place — to admit when I am wrong, to clap for someone else's win, to serve without checking who saw.

You knelt and washed feet, Lord. Whatever You were teaching that night, teach it to me.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord, give me sleep tonight — real rest, the kind You designed my body to need and my heart to receive.

Slow my breathing. Loosen my shoulders. Take the day's noise out of my ears.

You give sleep to those You love, so I'll stop trying to earn it and simply receive it.

Watch over me until morning.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
