When the Holidays Feel Heavy | Your Nightly Prayer

Lord, When the holidays feel heavy and joy seems far away, remind me that I don’t need to perform for others. You see my heart — weary, burdened, and longing for peace. Help me release the expectations I place on myself and the ones others place on me. Let me rest in Your promises and find comfort in Your presence. Remind me that even when my pain feels invisible, You notice it, You carry it, and You offer me rest. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
