A Prayer To Start The Second Half Of The Year Strong
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.
The year is not over. There is still time for healing. Still time for answered prayers. Still time for God to surprise you.
God,
We’re halfway through the year, and I don’t want to coast into the rest of it the same way I started. I want to begin this second half with intention — with you leading, not just me reacting to whatever comes.
Help me release what didn’t go the way I hoped in the first half. The plans that fell through. The prayers still waiting on answers. The version of this year I imagined back in January that doesn’t match where I actually am. I don’t want to carry that disappointment forward.
God, give me a fresh vision for what’s ahead. Show me what to let go of and what to fight for. Strengthen what’s weak in me. Restore what this year has already taken. And help me finish strong.
I’m starting the second half with you, God.
Lead me through it.
Amen.
