It's been a long day, hasn't it?

So now, it's time to rest to close your eyes and let your body drift into sleep.

Let go of the worries and cares.

You don't need to carry them.

God's got this.

Put what burdens you on the shoulders of your sovereign father.

Breathe out. As you feel the burden lifting breathe in the peace that surpasses all understanding

God's got this he is relentless in his love for you and his love for your lost loved one he will

not give up his pursuit of them and he will not let you fall from the palm of his hand let me pray for you as you begin to relax and to sleep

dear Heavenly Father we are so very grateful that you carry all of our burdens.

We acknowledge that we are not in control.

You hold it all.

I thank you that no one who has drifted away from you is lost to your sight you will do everything you have to do to

bring that person back into a relationship with you what we need will be provided because you

are all that we need I give today and its concerns to you in

the name of Jesus amen I want you to watch with me as we see a woman, a widow, sitting at her rough-hewn table in a

scratched wooden chair at the end of a long day her black hair straight and fine shields her face as

she rests her head on her hands out only by her elbows firm on the tabletop you look

closely at her and between the strands of hair you can see the streaks of tears on

her tired face.
