Father,
thank You that yesterday does not have to determine every part of today.
Give me courage to begin again with honesty and hope.
Help me learn from the past without becoming trapped inside it.
Renew my imagination for what can change through grace, patience, and faithful action.
Lead me into this new beginning one healthy step at a time.
Show me what to release, what to repair, and what to carry forward.
Let this beginning be rooted in wisdom so that new growth can become steady and lasting.
Let hope become more than a distant wish.
Give it hands and feet through the choices I make, the support I accept, and the encouragement I offer to someone else who is struggling.
Thank You for receiving me as I am, not only as I hope to become.
Let Your patient love steady me, and help me extend that same patience and kindness to the people I encounter.
Amen.
