A Prayer for Guidance, Healing, and Strength
Dear God,
I know I am not perfect, but are You listening? I need Your guidance, Your wisdom, and Your peace in my heart. My past has been painful, and I have made difficult choices. I left my husband because he was controlling and hurt my son. The authorities told me I had to leave, or I would be in trouble, too. I did what I thought was right, but now I find myself questioning everything.
I remarried a kind and gentle man who treats my children well, yet I struggle because he doesn’t stand up for the things I feel are right. I don’t know why I let the opinions of others weigh so heavily on me, why I crave their approval when deep down, it doesn’t matter. Help me, Lord, to let go of this need to be accepted by those who do not see my heart.
I confess that in my frustration, I have said hurtful things to the one I love. I don’t want to hurt him, Lord. Help me to see his love for me and my children as the blessing that it is. Give me the strength to show him love instead of pain, kindness instead of anger. Let him know that I truly love him and his children. Help me to build up my family rather than tear it down.
Father, I surrender my heart to You. Heal my wounds, calm my restless thoughts, and guide me on the right path. Let me be a source of love and peace in my home.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
