A Prayer for When Tomorrow Feels Too Heavy

The night before something you dread — a hearing, a hard shift, a doctor's call, a conversation you can't avoid — and tomorrow is already sitting on your chest. Here is an honest prayer and biblical encouragement for when you have little left to give. The prayer starts right away. Then we stay with Israel in the wilderness, where God gave bread a day's portion at a time and the manna kept for tomorrow spoiled (Exodus 16:4, 16:18–21); Moses' blessing, "as your days, so shall your strength be" (Deuteronomy 33:25); and David, who lay down and slept while fleeing his own son (Psalm 3:5). We finish with a few simple steps for tonight and a prayer to lay tomorrow down. Tomorrow's bread will be there in the morning. If dread like this has been with you every night for weeks, please talk with someone you trust or a doctor.
