Father,
my heart has been wounded, and I cannot simply decide not to hurt.
Meet me with patience and compassion.
Help me feel what needs to be felt without being overwhelmed by it.
Lead me toward safe people, wise support, and healthy boundaries.
Restore trust carefully, and heal me in ways that honor both truth and tenderness.
Teach me that healing is not forgetting and that boundaries are not bitterness.
Let my life grow around this wound until pain is no longer the center of every day.
Help me participate patiently in the healing available to me through wise care, supportive relationships, healthy choices, and honest prayer.
Keep me open to gradual progress rather than demanding an immediate answer.
Give me time to breathe before I move on.
Help these words settle beneath the noise and become visible in the way I treat myself, respond to others, and meet whatever comes next.
Amen.
