Pray This To Restore What You’ve Lost

Trusting God to uncover what drains us is the key to reclaiming the abundant life, a focus of Karin Hadadan’s prayer. This healing process is strengthened in Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day, which teaches us the tools to stay spiritually awake, helping us reclaim the peace and purpose that belong to us in Christ.

Do you ever notice how your joy and hope can sometimes feel like they’re slowly slipping away, and it almost feels like someone is stealing them from us? You don’t have to figure it all out alone; God can help you see what’s stealing your peace and guide you back to a full life. Let’s reach out to Him together in this prayer.

Dear God,

Lately I feel like I’m constantly being robbed of my joy, hope, and purpose, but I’m unclear as to what the source is. I need your wisdom to recognize the ‘thieves’ in my life that come to steal, kill, and destroy. Help me restore what has been stolen from me, and give me clarity on areas where I need to redirect my focus toward Jesus.

I want to experience the abundant life you promised—not just survival but thriving in your purpose for me. Guide me from where I am to where you want me to be, replacing every thief with your presence and every loss with your abundant life. Thank you for your promise that in following you, I will find life beyond what I can imagine.

Amen.
