Father,
the road has been longer than I expected, and I am weary.
Please renew the courage I need to continue.
Keep disappointment from hardening my heart.
Help me notice the small signs of grace that still surround me.
I may not feel strong, but I trust that You can sustain me through this moment and into tomorrow.
Place supportive voices around me when my own hope becomes quiet.
Help me celebrate every sign of progress and trust that endurance can be formed through small daily choices.
Remind me that strength can look like resting, asking for help, changing direction, or trying once more.
Form in me a courage that is honest about my limits and faithful with what remains.
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.
