A Prayer For When You’re One More Disappointment Away From Giving Up
Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.
This is a prayer for someone who is honest enough to admit how close to the edge they are, and brave enough to speak that truth to God.
God,
I need to be honest with you about where I am. I have stretched my faith across a long season of disappointment. I have chosen hope again and again, and I have watched hope go unanswered again and again. And I am standing now in a place where I feel as though I have very little left to give.
I am not angry. I am tired. Tired of bracing for the next thing. Tired of trying to believe when belief keeps asking so much of me.
I am not asking you to remove the difficulty. I am asking you to meet me right here in it — before I talk myself out of continuing. Give me just enough to keep going. Not a full picture of what is ahead, not certainty that things will change — just enough grace for today.
Remind me that you see how hard I have been trying. Remind me that choosing to stay, even when I have nearly nothing left, is not insignificant to you. God, hold me here until I find my footing again.
Amen.
