The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, David once believed a lie in his heart that he would not survive what was coming. I have my own lie I keep hearing, that this season will break me, that the tiredness will win, that I will never feel like myself again. That sentence is not from You. You called me into this season, and You will see me through it. You did not bring me this far to leave me here. Replace the lie with Your promise that You are with me and that Your strength holds me up when I have nothing left. Let me feel Your faithfulness in the small, hard moments. Amen.
