Lord,
I come without pretending that I am fine.
You see my exhaustion and the places where I have reached my limit.
Meet me here with mercy.
Carry what I cannot carry alone, and show me the next manageable step.
Help me receive support without shame.
Let this weakness become a place where I recognize Your faithful presence.
Let me stop measuring faith by how much I can endure alone.
Give me wisdom to rest, courage to speak honestly, and openness to the care of trustworthy people.
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.
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.
