Lay Your Burden Down Tonight

🕊 Let Providence read it to you

Let the dishes sit in the sink till morning. The email can wait, the laundry can wait, the worry that followed you all day can wait too. Jesus said come — not come once you've finished, just come as you are, tired hands and all.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
— Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Tonight's prayer
Lord, I'm tired. My body's tired, my mind's tired, and some of what weighs on me I haven't even named yet. You said to bring it to you, so here it is — all of it, laid at your feet. I can't carry it through the night and I don't have to. Take the noise of today and give me quiet instead. Watch over the people I love while we sleep. Thank you for a bed to lie in, for breath in my lungs, and for a Savior who never grows tired of me coming to him. Amen.
Blessing for your rest
Rest easy now — you are held, you are known, and morning will come on its own time. Peace over this house, peace over your pillow, sleep well, beloved.

Have Providence read you to sleep
