Prayer

Prayer for Simplicity

God of enough, my life feels cluttered— too much stuff, too many commitments, too many voices telling me I need more. Teach me simplicity. Not poverty, but freedom. Not deprivation, but clarity. Not emptiness, but space for what matters.

Matthew 6:19-21Universalsimplicitycontentment

Prayer

Evening Prayer: Simply Thank You

Thank You, God. For this day—however it went. For this breath—still being given. For this moment—to stop and notice You. Thank You for loving me when I forget You're there, when I mess up, when I take You for granted.

Psalm 107:1Universalgratitudegrace
