God of Hope,
When I am tired and overwhelmed, fill me with strength.
When there seems to be more than I can do, guide me to prioritize.
When my heart is heavy or my mind is muddled, help me find focus.
When I need reminders that the burdens of today are not forever,
help me to notice signs of hope in the world and the people around me.
When I doubt and question my abilities, remind me that I am beloved, gifted and capable of so much.
When I truly have more than I can manage, help me to reach out for help.
Like tiny flowers in the grayness of winter, show me reminders of your presence and your love.
Amen
