🙏 Your Evening Prayer

Heavenly Father,
As I prepare for rest tonight, I acknowledge the darkness I’m feeling. You see the weight I’m carrying, the questions that haunt me, and the fears that threaten to overwhelm me.
I’m grateful that I don’t need to pretend with You. I can come just as I am—broken, weary, and uncertain. Thank You that even when I don’t feel Your presence, You are here.
Lord, let Your song be with me tonight. As I close my eyes, replace my anxious thoughts with the truth of who You are.
I surrender this night and all my tomorrows into Your hands, trusting that the God who carries me through dark seasons will never let me go.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
