Prayer of the Day

Lord, I am here. Quiet everything in me that is still somewhere else — the argument from yesterday, the list for tomorrow, the phone in my pocket.

Open my ears to hear You, my mouth to sing to You, and my heart to be changed by You. I did not come to watch a service. I came to meet with You.

Speak, Lord. I am listening.

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.
