Global Prayer on Psalm 127:2

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Psalm 127:2 · KJV

Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Lord, forgive me for working in my efforts to meet my needs. When I strive to accomplish my agenda and push myself beyond my limits, I feel the weight of my concerns. My mind ruminates on the adverse outcomes I'll experience if I don't meet the expectations I set for myself. Forgive me for often leaving you out of this process. You give me sweet sleep and work on my behalf while I rest. When will I learn that you can do more with one prayer than I can with all my human efforts? Lord, you desire to bless me without all this anxiety and exertion, while I rest. Thank you for this blessing. Amen.
