The day is coming to a close. You’re tired, perhaps even drained from all that you’ve needed to take care of through the long hours. Sit still for a moment or lie back in your bed. Read this message from Jesus, then close your eyes and reflect on it. Let Jesus soothe your nerves, relax your tired body, and fill your spirit with His love and peace. “I am with you always.”¹

I was with you today as you worked. I was right there pulling, pushing, lifting, and carrying right along with you. I was right there doing My part to make your day that much better, your load that much lighter, and your burdens more bearable. I was there propping you up and giving you the boost you needed toward the end of the day when weariness was about to overcome you.

I am still here with you, now when you are tired and worn from the day. Lie back and relax. Rest in My arms, like a little child falls asleep in the strong and comforting arms of her father. There is nothing to fear and nothing to worry about—only deep, sweet, peaceful rest when you are nestled here, close to My heart.

A Prayer for the Day

Thank You, Jesus, for always being ready and willing to come to my aid. It’s a special token of Your love that You help me throughout the day, in every situation I face. Whenever problems arise, You are always there to help me solve them. You are truly concerned about every little detail, and You always know best. With each passing day, I want You to be more a part of my life and thoughts and decisions. You’re so good to me!
