🕯 You’re Allowed to Rest
Exhaustion isn’t weakness — it’s honesty.
🕊️ Prayer of the Day
Lord, I come to You without energy to hold myself together.
I bring the weight of everything I’ve been feeling and pretending not to feel.
Hold what I no longer have the strength to carry.
Take the sadness I cannot explain and the exhaustion I cannot shake.
I lay down my performance, my mask, and my need to appear okay.
Cover me with Your quiet and let me rest without guilt.
Stay with me while I breathe again.
Amen.
💡 Why This Prayer Matters
Unrested hearts make distorted decisions.
🪞 Thoughts Before Sleep
I don’t have to solve myself tonight.
I don’t have to analyze every feeling or justify every sadness.
Some things heal only when I stop touching them.
Rest is not avoidance — it’s obedience to being human.
📖 Bible Story
Elijah collapsed under a tree asking God to let him die.
God didn’t lecture him — He fed him and let him sleep.
Only after rest did direction return.
Scripture shows that sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is lie down.
