Prayer of the Day

Lord, so many voices are talking at once — the news, the crowd, my friends, my fears, and somewhere underneath them, You.

Tune my ear to Your voice.

Give me discernment: to tell the true from the almost-true, the good from the merely pleasant, the best from the good enough.

When something sounds right but sits wrong, let me notice. When something sounds hard but rings true, let me follow.

Make Your Word the lamp I check every other light against.

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.
