Pray This When You Need God’s Strength To Keep Going

We are reminded that we don’t have to take the next step alone when we lean on God’s power, a reflection shared by Karin Hadadan. You can deepen this connection with Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day, which offers ways to lean on His power rather than relying on your own tired efforts.

When you feel completely drained, like you have nothing left to give, even the smallest step forward can feel impossible. Don’t worry, this is often the place where God meets us most gently, offering His strength when ours has run out. Take a moment to pray with me.

Dear God,

Today I have nothing left. I feel depleted, drained, and weak. I cannot see a way out of the suffering I’m experiencing. I have been relying solely on myself, but now, I acknowledge my weakness and turn to you.

I ask that you meet me at this point of need. Give me your divine strength today—strength to face the day ahead, strength to face myself, and strength to keep going when I feel I cannot take another step. Please keep my heart open so that I can receive your power rather than trying to generate my own. Thank you for understanding my human limitations and for your compassion toward my weakness. I trust that you will renew my spirit and that this moment marks the beginning of a new way of being—one that depends on your strength rather than my own.

Amen.
