O God,
When the burdens of my life are too heavy, fill me with strength to carry them.
When the struggles that surround me seem overwhelming, guide me to find hope.
When the sorrows in the world are too much to bear, help me see your presence.
Help me to breathe.
Fill me with courage and peace.
Give me hope that you are bringing new life.
Help me to trust that you are transforming the world, even when I cannot see how.
Remind me that we are never alone, and that you are bringing change.
Amen.
