Prayer of the Day

Lord, a decision is in front of me, and it is too big for a coin flip and too heavy for another sleepless night. So I set it down here, between us.

You already know what I should do. I am not informing You of anything. I am asking You to let me in on it.

Clear the fog, Lord. Show me the facts I have been avoiding and the fears I have been obeying. Send me counselors who love me enough to disagree with me, and make me humble enough to ask them.

If this path is wrong, unsettle me now, while turning back is still cheap. If it is right, give me that steady, quiet peace that does not depend on everything going well.

And when it is time to choose, deliver me from endless stalling dressed up as prayer. Deciding is also an act of trust. Whichever way I go, Lord — go with me.

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.
