Slepp well.
One of the loneliest feelings is wondering whether anyone truly sees how hard you are trying. ❤️

Maybe no one noticed what it cost you to get through today.

Maybe no one saw the tears you swallowed, the kindness you gave, or the burden you quietly carried.

Jesus did.

Lord Jesus,
when I feel unseen, overlooked, or forgotten, remind me tonight that nothing about my life escapes Your loving gaze. You see the effort no one notices, the tears I hide, and the prayers I whisper. Help me stop measuring my worth by the attention of others. Let me rest knowing I am fully known, deeply loved, and never forgotten by You.

Amen. 🙏

You may feel unnoticed by the world, but you have never been unnoticed by God.

Good Morning!

Heavenly Father, we lift up all who work — in every field, in every season, seen and unseen - those who keep our communities running and our society strong. Thank You for their dedication, skill, and sacrifice. Bless their hands, minds, and hearts. Give them strength for today, rest for tomorrow, and purpose in all they do. Guide them with Your wisdom, protect them in their work, and surround them with Your peace. May they always know their work matters, that it makes a difference, and that they are never alone, for You are with them in it all. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Happy Labor Day!

GOOD MORNING, LORD — SEPTEMBER 5, 2026

“God Will Carry You Through This”

Good morning, Lord. 🙏❤️

Thank You for waking me up to another day.

Some mornings I wake up already thinking about everything I have to handle.

The responsibilities.
The unanswered questions.
The things I cannot change.
The things I wish were different.

Sometimes I wonder how much longer I can keep carrying it all.

But this morning, remind me that You never asked me to carry everything alone.

You see the weight I have been carrying.

You know the battles I don't talk about.
You know the prayers I keep praying.
You know how tired my heart can become.

So today, I give those burdens to You.

When I feel overwhelmed, give me peace.
When I feel weak, give me strength.
When I feel discouraged, give me hope.
When I don't know what to do, help me take one step at a time.

I don't have to have everything figured out today.

I just need to remember that God is with me, God is helping me, and God will carry me through. ❤️

📖 TODAY'S VERSE

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.”

— Psalm 55:22

🙏 MORNING PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for reminding me that I don't have to carry every burden by myself.

Today, I place my worries, my responsibilities, my fears, and the things I cannot control into Your hands.

Give me strength for what I need to face today.

Give me wisdom for every decision.

Give me peace when my mind wants to worry.

Help me remember that I am never walking through this life alone.

When I become tired, hold me up.

When I become discouraged, remind me how far You have already brought me.

Teach me to trust You one day, one moment, and one step at a time.

I give You my burdens, Lord, and I trust You to carry what I cannot.

Amen. 🙏❤️

☀️ A LITTLE MORNING REMINDER

You don't have to carry everything today.
Give God what is too heavy for you.

If you're giving your burdens to God this morning, leave a ❤️ or comment:

“Lord, I give it to You.”

May your Saturday be filled with peace, strength, rest, and the comforting reminder that God is carrying you through whatever you're facing. 🌅🙏

Follow Good Morning Lord for daily faith, prayer, hope, and encouragement. ❤️

If you talk to anyone who was in the presence of Mother Teresa, they will say that she changed their life.
⁣
Today the Church celebrates St. Teresa of Calcutta, a saint who was alive during many of our lifetimes. We can pray for her intercession, that we will always be attentive to the poor and marginalized in our midst, and that we will radiate the holiness that God gives us through His grace.

One of the sweetest gifts of evening prayer is this: we do not have to end the day pretending we got everything right.

We can bring the whole day to God — the good, the difficult, the regretful, and the unfinished — and rest in His mercy.

EVENING PRAYER — FOR WHEN YOU NEED TO BEGIN AGAIN

Heavenly Father, as this day ends, I thank You that Your mercy is not finished with me. Where I failed, forgive me. Where I wandered, lead me back. Let me lay down today’s regrets and rest in the hope that with You, I can begin again. Amen
