You wake up already thinking about dinner. You carry the appointments, the forms, the birthdays, the emotional weather of everyone under your roof — and some days, in the middle of holding everyone else together, you feel like you are going under.

If you are weary, you are not failing. You are a human being doing the work of several.

Psalms for the Weary Wife is ten days of honest prayer drawn from the Psalms — the prayers of the exhausted, the overlooked and the frightened, which God put in the Bible without cleaning them up first. Each day takes about ten minutes: a short passage, a reflection on the life you are actually living, a prayer to start from, a one-line Anchor Prayer to carry through the day, one small thing to do, and one honest question.

For the five minutes you are hiding in the bathroom. For two in the morning, staring at the ceiling. For the moment in the car before you go inside.

A companion to The Anchored Wife**, a 90-day devotional for wives.**
