Prayer of the Day

Lord, I have nothing to ask today. I only want to look at You.

You were God before the first morning, and You will be God after the last. You spoke, and there were oceans. You breathed, and there was life. And still You bend down to listen when someone like me whispers Your name.

You are holy — and yet gentle. You are mighty — and yet patient. You keep every star in its place and every sparrow in Your sight. No one taught You wisdom. No one gave You strength. Everything good flows out of who You are.

So I praise You — not for what You have given me, but for what You are like. Faithful when I am not. Kind when no one is watching. True from generation to generation.

Let my whole life say what my mouth says now: You are worthy. You are good. You are God.

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.
