Evening Prayer: When You’re Running on Empty

You weren’t created to pour without being filled. Some nights the heart reaches zero, not because you failed — but because you gave too long without stopping to drink from the Source.

🕊️ Prayer of the Day

Lord, my cup is empty.
My heart is tired.
My thoughts are loud.
And my strength is thin.

So I ask You to refill me gently, intentionally, completely.
Pour back what the world has pulled out.
Quiet what exhaustion has shaken loose.
Hold me upright where weariness has folded me.

I’m not asking for more tasks —
I’m asking for more of You.
Be my portion, my peace, my strength again. Amen.

💡 Why This Prayer Matters

You can’t burn brighter by pushing harder. Only by refilling deeper.

🪞 Thoughts Before Sleep

Resting doesn’t mean quitting.
It means replenishing what matters most.

📖 Bible Story

Elijah collapsed under the broom tree and asked for the end —
but God sent food and rest instead of judgment (1 Kings 19:4–8).
Sometimes the miracle isn’t the leap forward.
Sometimes the miracle is breakfast and sleep.
