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.

Thank You, Father, for this day now ending.

For food on the table and a place to sleep. For work done and rest coming. For the people who love me, and the mercy that met me every hour, seen and unseen.

I didn't earn a minute of it. Receive my thanks — it's all I have to give back tonight, and You've never asked for more.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
