Psalmi 55:1

Your mental and emotional health matters to God. In this 4-day devotional plan, Mental Health Week, we’ll explore how Scripture speaks to the real struggles we face. Each day focuses on one key area: Anxiety, Betrayal, caring for our minds, and rest.

Turn Your Cares into Prayers is based on Psalm 55, a deeply moving and honest psalm of lament, where David unburdens his soul to the LORD. As you meditate on this psalm, may you encounter the Lord Jesus, the Burden-Bearer, and cast your burdens on him because he understands you more fully than anyone else ever could. Your shoulders are not strong enough, but his are. He doesn’t get tired or weary. Ever.

When the word prayer comes to our minds, we probably have a picture of what that looks like. Regardless of your background, you probably have some prior experience with the concept of prayer. In this 7-day plan, we’ll dive deeper into what prayer looks like and how we can incorporate practices that will help us begin an ongoing conversation with God that will last our entire lives.
