The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, I am tired of being the strong one in my friend group. I do not even know if I have been strong or just holding my breath. Even Jesus needed the Father's strength to keep going. Pour something into me, too. Let me exhale. Send someone this week who can hold a little of what I have been carrying — not because my friends are not real, but because they are the ones I am trying to be strong for. Restore me by letting me be honestly weak in front of someone I trust. Help me eat. Help me sleep. Quiet the need to always be useful. Give me the strength to keep going. Amen.
