A prayer

Father, the day is done, but my mind will not be still. Quiet my racing thoughts and loosen the worries I keep turning over. I place this night in Your hands — the things left undone, the fears I cannot fix. Wrap me in Your peace, and let me rest knowing You are awake and watching over me. Grant me sleep, and a gentler morning. Amen.

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
