Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary'—He's inviting you into honest conversation.
Father, I'm tired. Not just physically—I'm worn thin by worry and pressure I can't seem to set down. I've been trying to carry this alone. I'm asking You now to take what I cannot hold anymore. Guard my mind from the lies that I have to fix everything. Help me believe that Your presence with me is enough, even when nothing else feels resolved. In Jesus' name, Amen.
