Lord, I am trying. Maybe nobody sees how hard, but You do. I am trying to remain hopeful when I am disappointed. I am trying to be responsible when money feels tight. I am trying to show up for people while carrying things of my own. I am trying to pray when my mind is distracted and trust when I still have questions. Some days I handle it well. Other days, one small thing feels like enough to make everything inside me collapse. I am tired of expecting myself to be strong every hour of every day. I need Your strength in the places where mine has finally reached its limit.
Please remind me that weakness does not make me useless to You. Give me enough grace for the responsibilities directly in front of me instead of making me carry an entire lifetime at once. Help me rest without guilt, ask for help without shame, and begin again without calling yesterday's struggle a failure. I do not need to become invincible. I need to remember where my strength comes from. Lord, when I cannot be strong enough for everything, help me discover that I was never supposed to be. Let Your strength meet me exactly where mine ends. Amen JG2026
