catholic contemplative prayer by Julian of Norwich
As I close this day, O God, I look toward tomorrow with hope. Whatever it holds— joy or challenge, ease or difficulty, the expected or the surprising— You will be there before I arrive.

God who sees me, this darkness feels too heavy today. The weight in my chest, the fog in my mind, the battle just to get through one more hour— I need You to see it. I need You to be near.
God who does not waste our pain, I bring this suffering to You— not because I understand it, but because You are the only One who can redeem it. I will not pretend this is easy. I will not call this comfortable.
