🕊 Before we settle into our evening, let's take a few moments to quiet our hearts and spend some time with the Lord. Father, we thank You for this day You've carried us through, the moments that felt strong and the ones that left us needing courage. Thank You for the breath You gave us, for the kindness we received, and for the quiet ways You reminded us to wait on You. We release the day now, Lord, the things that drained our strength, the fears that tried to weaken us, the situations where we felt like giving up. We lay them all down. Give us peaceful, restoring rest tonight. Let our bodies relax fully, our minds grow quiet, and our hearts take courage as we wait for You. Bless our country, Father. Strengthen the weary, encourage the discouraged, and help every leader and family wait on You with courage. Pour out Your strength on this nation. Watch over our homes and loved ones, anyone ending the day feeling weak or afraid. Be their courage and bring them gentle sleep. We worship You, the Lord who strengthens us, the One worth waiting for with a courageous heart. In Jesus’ name, amen. 📖 Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! I love you, 🩶 Christina
