Raw.Real.Recovered.

Some days, it feels like I’m running on fumes. Like I’ve given everything I have—every ounce of patience, every bit of love, every last drop of energy—and yet, somehow, the world still asks for more. More strength. More kindness. More resilience.

God, today is one of those days.

I need You.

I need Your presence like a steady hand on my back, pushing me forward when I want to sit and quit. I need Your love to wrap around me like armor, shielding me from the exhaustion, the doubt, the overwhelming weight of it all. I need Your energy, because mine is gone, and there are still people who need me.

Fill me up, Lord.

Fill me with enough grace to give to others without running dry. Enough patience to respond with kindness instead of frustration. Enough wisdom to know what truly matters and what I can let go of.

Be my strength when mine fails. Be my rest when I can’t stop. Be my peace in the middle of the chaos.

And, Lord? While You’re at it…

A little extra love, a little extra favor, a little extra something-something to get through this day would be greatly appreciated.

Amen
