When the heart is heavy
There are days when we wake up already feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders. Worries pile up, exhaustion takes over, and it seems like there is no way out. It is in these moments that we need to stop and cry out.
“Call on me in the day of distress; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” — Psalm 50:15
A prayer for today
Lord, my God,
I come before You with a weary heart and a restless soul. You know every tear I have shed in secret, every sigh I could not put into words.
Give me strength to face this day. Not my own strength, which is already spent, but Yours — which never fails, which never grows weary.
Remove from me the anxiety that paralyzes and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. May I feel Your presence in every step, in every decision, in every moment of uncertainty.
Remind me that I do not need to carry this burden alone. That You walk beside me, and that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
The power of prayer
Prayer does not only change circumstances — it transforms us. When we pray, we acknowledge our dependence on God and make room for Him to work in our hearts.
It does not matter how simple or clumsy your words may be. God does not seek eloquence; He seeks sincerity.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6
