Fear, exhaustion, uncertainty — they can weigh heavy at the end of the day. But Scripture reminds us that God holds us up, even when we feel like we can’t keep going. Isaiah 41:10 gives us this promise: “Do not fear, for I am with you... I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” As Meg Bucher beautifully writes: “Even in fear and exhaustion, God promises to hold you up with His victorious hand — rest tonight knowing you are never alone.” Tonight’s prayer invites you to release your burdens, let go of striving, and fall asleep knowing God is holding you fast.
