Sometimes we forget that God doesn’t just want to be part of our victories—He wants to sit with us in our struggles too. He’s not waiting for us to “get it together” before we come to Him. He meets us right where we are—in the mess, in the questions, in the waiting. Today is another chance to let Him into the places we’ve closed off or tried to carry alone. This is our prayer for April 14.
Bible Verse for April 14
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
Prayer for April 14
Jesus, thank You for caring. Not just in a general, distant way—but personally, deeply, constantly. Thank You for being the kind of God who doesn’t look away when we’re overwhelmed. You lean in. You stay close. You listen.
Today we give You the things that are too heavy for us to carry. The situations we can’t fix. The emotions we don’t know how to name. The stress that keeps sneaking in when no one’s looking. We cast it all on You—not because we’re giving up, but because You told us to. Because You care. Because You’re strong enough to hold it.
Remind us that it’s not weakness to need You. It’s worship. It’s faith. We don’t have to pretend in Your presence. We don’t have to earn Your attention. You’re already here, already listening, already working.
Help us to breathe a little deeper today. To stop bracing for what might go wrong and start expecting You to show up. To see Your fingerprints even in the small things. Give us grace for ourselves and compassion for others. And for the one who feels forgotten—wrap them in Your undeniable love.
We give You this day, with all its unknowns. We choose to trust that Your care is more constant than our chaos. Your peace is stronger than our pressure. Thank You for carrying what we can’t.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Final Thoughts
You weren’t made to carry it all alone and that is what this prayer for April 14 is about. God didn’t ask you to be invincible—He invited you to be dependent. Today, take a moment to actually tell Him what’s on your heart. Whisper it, journal it, or even cry it out. Then breathe. He’s not overwhelmed by your need. He’s moved by your trust.
