May taught you what it needed to teach you. Now it’s time to put it down and step into June with open hands and nothing heavy left to carry.

God,

As May closes and June begins, I don’t want to carry what didn’t belong with me into a fresh month. The habits that kept me stuck.

The thoughts that kept me small. The relationships that drained more than they filled. The version of myself that was surviving instead of living. I’m leaving it all here.

I’m leaving behind the fear that kept me from stepping forward. The doubt that talked me out of what you were calling me toward. The comparison that made me feel behind. The people-pleasing that cost me my peace. The cycles I kept returning to even though I knew better. May taught me what I needed to learn. I don’t need to bring the lessons and the weight.

God, help me cross into June unburdened. Help me release what’s expired, what’s exhausted me, what’s kept me circling the same ground. Give me the courage to close May’s chapter completely – not with bitterness, but with gratitude for what it taught me and faith for what’s ahead.

June is a clean slate. And I’m stepping into it with open hands.

Amen.
