Prayer

Jesus taught us to bring our burdens to the Father, just as David did in his distress (Matthew 11:28).

Father, You are close to the brokenhearted, and today I need that closeness. I confess that fear often overwhelms me and I forget Your goodness. Help me taste and see that You truly are good, even when circumstances feel impossible. Deliver me from the fears that keep me awake at night and remind me that You care for every detail of my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
