To pause with
Psalm 34:18
Look up this passage in your Bible or in a Bible app. Read it slowly, a few times. You do not have to do anything with it.
A prayer
Lord, I do not know right now. I am tired and it is heavy. Will you be close, even when I do not feel you? Give me what I need today, and someone to stand beside me. Amen.
