Lord,
recovery includes progress, setbacks, and days I do not understand.
Help me measure growth with patience rather than perfection.
Give me perseverance for treatment, courage to ask questions, and humility to receive help.
Celebrate each small improvement with me.
When discouragement comes, remind me that slow healing is still healing and that I remain worthy of care.
On difficult days, help me remember that a setback does not erase the ground already gained.
Let hope remain realistic, flexible, and strong enough to accept today as it is.
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.
I place both my desire for change and my uncertainty about how it will happen into Your hands.
Lead me through the next small step, and give me grace when growth is slower than I hoped.
Amen.
