A Prayer For When You’re One More Disappointment Away From Giving Up

This is a prayer for someone who is honest enough to admit how close to the edge they are, and brave enough to speak that truth to God. 

God,

I need to be honest with you about where I am. I have stretched my faith across a long season of disappointment. I have chosen hope again and again, and I have watched hope go unanswered again and again. And I am standing now in a place where I feel as though I have very little left to give.

I am not angry. I am tired. Tired of bracing for the next thing. Tired of trying to believe when belief keeps asking so much of me.

I am not asking you to remove the difficulty. I am asking you to meet me right here in it — before I talk myself out of continuing. Give me just enough to keep going. Not a full picture of what is ahead, not certainty that things will change — just enough grace for today.

Remind me that you see how hard I have been trying. Remind me that choosing to stay, even when I have nearly nothing left, is not insignificant to you. God, hold me here until I find my footing again.

Amen.
