Carrying a lot and asking for rest first instead of last — that ordering seems exactly right.

Father, tonight please give real sleep — the kind that actually restores. Quiet the running mind, loosen what the day knotted up, and wake them with enough strength for everything they are holding. And the same for everyone reading this who is carrying their own weight quietly. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Curious — when you picture being rested, what is the first thing you would finally have energy to enjoy again?
