Let’s us pray: Heavenly Father, today I lift up everyone who smiles in public but cries in private. Those who go to work, show up for others, fulfil their responsibilities and pretend everything is fine while silently falling apart inside. Lord, visit the places they cannot explain. Heal the pain they have learnt to hide. Calm the thoughts they cannot switch off. Give them strength for the battles nobody knows they are fighting. Father, let them know they don't have to be strong every single day. When they have no words to pray, hear the cries of their hearts. When getting out of bed feels like a battle, carry them. When loneliness surrounds them, remind them that they are not forgotten. Remove the weight they have been carrying in silence. Restore their joy, renew their minds and give them the courage to ask for help without shame. Lord, let their smiles become genuine again. Let their hearts find rest. Let them experience happiness that is not forced and peace that does not depend on pretending. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
