Prayer

Jesus invites us to bring our sorrows to Him, not hide them—Matthew 11:28 says, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.'

Father, I don't always feel like praising You, and that's the truth. Some days I carry weight I can't explain, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Thank You that You're not afraid of my honest questions or my grief. Help me pour out what's real in my heart, knowing that You hear me and that You're working something deeper than I can see right now. Give me the courage to name my pain and the faith to believe You're still good in it. In Jesus' name, Amen.
