Prayer of the Day

Lord, I'd love a good day today. But teach me what good really is:

Not everything going my way, but You beside me whichever way it goes. Work that matters, honestly done. A kind word given, and maybe one received. Patience that outlasts my inconvenience. A grateful heart by nightfall.

If You give me an easy day, thank You. If You give me a hard one, stay close, and make something good of it anyway.

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.
