I lay down every worry, stress, and heavy load at Your feet. Refresh my mind and body after a long week. Help me embrace Your promise from Exodus 33:14: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Let Your gentle Spirit restore my soul.

They will soar on wings like eagles.” Lord, help me rise above every challenge and not grow weary. Revive my spirit with Your life-giving Word. As Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Wash away any discouragement, doubt, or sin that holds me back.

I also hold onto John 4:24: “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” Help me honor You sincerely, not just with my lips but with my life. May my heart be sensitive to Your presence all day long, giving You the adoration You deserve. Thank You for being so worthy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
A Prayer to Start the Weekend Right
Father God, thank You for bringing me to this new weekend. I dedicate this Saturday to You. Guide my steps so that everything I do honors You.
