Prayer of the Day

Lord, it's just the two of us at this table tonight. Thank You for this food, made and set for one, and for Your company, which makes it two.

Some meals alone are peaceful, and some are lonely. You know which kind this one is. Either way, You are here, and I am grateful.

Bless this quiet meal. And bless everyone else eating alone right now — let each of us remember we are seen.

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.
