A Short Prayer To Thank God For Being Your Constant In An Ever-Changing World

Resilience begins with the hope that God is still in control. Building on the truth of Rania Naim’s prayer, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day helps you cultivate a faith that thrives in every season. Let this prayer inspire you to lean on Him and trust His unwavering care.

Dear God,

Right now, it feels like everything is falling apart. Every dream of mine feels shattered. Every hope feels like a hopeless case. Every move feels like a step in the wrong direction. My heart is broken, my mind is restless and my body feels weighed down with the heaviness of it all. And yet, here I am, leaning on you again, believing against all odds that this is all heading in the right direction because deep down I know you are the only one who can make me whole again.

I don’t always understand your lessons or why they have to be so harsh. I don’t always understand the people you bring into my life and why they can’t really stick around when I need them most. I don’t always understand your timing, because sometimes it can feel like the worst time for certain things to fall apart. But somehow, I feel like you still have my back. That you always save me, even when it feels like I am drowning, and you always take care of me, even when it feels like I am all alone. 

I’m not afraid because I have faith in you. You always give me the resilience I need when it feels like I’ve lost the will to fight for myself. You always give me the patience I need to wait for my turn. You always give me the wisdom I need to understand the pain behind losing someone I loved. You always give me the light I need to rise above any darkness in my life. You always heal me when I am broken and you always remind me that I am never truly alone. That everything always leads me back to you. 

You are the only constant in my life, and even in the hardest seasons, you remain steady. I can feel your presence more than anything. And because of that, I know I will always be okay, not because I’m strong enough, but because you always hold me together.
