Prayer of the Day

Lord, someone I love is running on empty, and I can't carry their load for them. But You can.

Be their strength today. When they wake up dreading the day, meet them there. When they hit the hardest hour, hold them up. When they think no one sees how hard they're trying — You see.

Give them rest that actually restores, one small encouragement they didn't expect, and the deep-down certainty that they are not alone.

And show me my part, Father: a call, a meal, a quiet hour of help. Make me one of the ways You answer this prayer.

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.
