Dear Lord,
All I ask is for more love. More love for those close to me, more love for those I don’t find easy to love and more love for myself.
Silence the voices of those around me who want to tear me down. You look directly into my heart, beyond my outside, past my history, and ahead to my future. You have seen it all, and You know my full story.
Give me the inner strength to keep pressing forward. Give me grace to get back up when I fall down, and the faith to believe You’ve got my back.
Show me that You have a purpose. Prove to me that Your Hand is on my life. Don’t let me feel that I’m wandering, trying to make my own way.
Let me seek to understand others, to withhold judgment, and to give second chances. Keep me from retaliating when all I want to do is raise my middle finger to the world.
Remind me that inner character is the measure of a person.
Teach me to trust.
Amen.
