## Prayer
Lord, I come to You with open hands. Today I want to lay down the weights I’ve been carrying — the worries, the burdens, the expectations that were never from You. And I confess the entanglements that trip me up. I don’t want to run my race weighed down. Give me the courage to let go, the honesty to name what holds me back, and the grace to leave it at Your feet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
