Overwhelmed by Your Own Expectations | Your Nightly Prayer

Sometimes the pressure we feel doesn’t come from others—it comes from ourselves. We carry invisible checklists, unreachable standards, and impossible goals. We want to be everything to everyone and do it all perfectly. And when we fall short, we feel defeated, ashamed, and alone. 📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 📖 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 In today’s prayer, we lay down the weight of our own expectations and receive God’s grace instead. He doesn’t expect perfection—He offers presence. He meets us where we are, not where we think we should be. And His love remains steady even when we don’t.
