Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Dear Lord, We come before You aware of our smallness and humbled by Your mercy. You lift us not because of what we build or prove, but because of who You are. We confess how often we strive for worth, measuring ourselves by effort instead of trusting Your grace. Yet You draw near to the lowly and speak life into those overlooked. We are weary of striving and longing for rest in You. Speak to us again—not with thunder, but with steady assurance. Give us the courage to receive Your blessings, even when they disrupt our plans. Teach us to live as children who depend fully on their Father. Remind us that You build the house, You secure the future, and Your faithfulness never fails. Amen.
