A prayer for strength When You Feel Worn Down

Heavenly Father, I come to You with the strength I have, even when it feels small. You know what weighs on my heart and what makes each day difficult. Help me be honest with You about my fears and my limits. Please give me strength for the next step. When my body is weary, help me make room for rest. When my thoughts feel crowded, help me focus on what I can do today and leave tomorrow in Your care. Teach me to wait with hope, as Isaiah reminds us. Give me patience when change comes slowly and courage when the road ahead is unclear. Keep my heart open to Your love in the middle of this struggle. Help me receive care from others without shame. Give me courage to reach out to a pastor, a doctor, or someone I trust when I need support. Thank You for hearing me. Whatever today holds, help me walk through it with faith, kindness, and the strength You provide. Amen
