Prayer for teens

Father,

It is late. I am stuffed from a pizza I probably should not have eaten. Today had a real conversation I am proud of, and a moment in the cafeteria I would pay real money to take back. In between, a lot of ordinary minutes I will not remember in a year.

You are the God who shut the door to keep Noah safe. Shut this day for me. You are closing it in mercy, even when I want to keep replaying what happened. I do not have to keep performing in my own head tonight. Forgive what was sin. Receive what was real. Help me stop replaying the embarrassing moment on a loop. The replay does not undo it. The day is done. Tomorrow will have its own weight. I do not need to carry it now.

Give me sleep.

Amen.
