Peace Before a New Week | Your Nightly Prayer

Audio By Carbonatix

There is something unique about the night before a new week begins.

Even if today has been restful, your mind may already be moving ahead.

The meetings.

The errands.

The appointments.

The responsibilities.

The conversations.

The unknowns.

Sometimes we begin carrying Monday before Sunday has even ended.

We mentally rehearse conversations that haven't happened, anticipate problems that may never come, and try to prepare ourselves for every possible outcome.

But Jesus gently reminds us that tomorrow is not today's burden.

The grace you need for Tuesday will not arrive tonight.

The wisdom you need for Thursday's decision is not required before you fall asleep on Sunday.

God invites you to live one day at a time because He promises to meet you one day at a time.

When Shea is not chopping tiny food up for her three tiny humans, or pitching Chipotle to her high school sweetheart-turned-husband, you can find her doing the following: Feeding her sourdough starter (aka 4th child) and baking bread. Putting her Master of Divinity to work by furiously typing about Jesus during naptimes. Posting encouragement and #momlife reels on Instagram. Conquering virtual hills on her Peloton. Renovating "the dream home" with her husband. Co-hosting her church's podcast. Homeschooling the littles. Leading a Barre class. Preaching, teaching, and storytelling. And finally, pretending she will keep her indoor plants alive...this time!
