Tonight's Bible Verse:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28 NIV

Your Evening Prayer:

Dear God,
Tonight I admit I’m worn out. I’ve been trying to carry too much in my own strength, and I feel like I’m running on empty. I need Your help, Lord—Your peace and Your strength—because I cannot do this alone. Thank You for inviting me to come to You, not with more pressure, but with the promise of rest. I bring my burdens to You now and trust You to hold what I can’t. Quiet my anxious thoughts and fill me with Your peace. Replenish what has been depleted in me, and give my soul true rest in Your presence.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
