Prayer for Today

There is a tiredness that sleep does not touch. It settles in the places you do not talk about , the part of you that has been holding steady for everyone.

Some days the noise is not outside you, it is inside. Before your eyes are even open, the list is already running , the things you forgot, the things you.

There is a particular kind of tiredness that comes from waking up already behind. The day has not started, and yet yesterday is sitting on the edge of the.

A Monday prayer for strength to begin the week again with God — laying down last week and trusting Him with today.

A prayer for the day your soul is tired — bringing your weariness, your worries and your undone lists to the God who gives rest.

Some weeks do not break you with one great blow. They wear you down with a thousand small ones , the alarm that came too early, the conversation that went.

There is a tiredness that sleep does not always reach. It is not just the body that is worn out at the end of a long week , it is the part of you that has.

Lord, I bring you this Thursday. I bring you the pressure I already feel, the tasks on the calendar, the people counting on me. I hand it all to you right now.

A quiet, honest prayer for the days when your shoulders are carrying too much — and you need God to carry some of it for you.

The first day of a new month carries a strange mix of hope and pressure. There is the clean-slate feeling , a chance to begin again , and right beside it.
