when I should walk away. Amen.

Lord,

I have missed You so much. I have been distant, lost in my own struggles, and ashamed of how I have ignored You. Instead of offering gratitude, I have placed blame on You for the hardships I’ve faced, even though I know deep down that You have never abandoned me. You have been there all along, patiently waiting for me to return.

Since my mother’s passing, I have felt lost and alone, disconnected from You in ways I never imagined. I know that life moves on and that everything unfolds according to Your plan, but the pain and sorrow remain so difficult to understand. Grief has weighed on me, making it hard to see Your light.

But now, Lord, I want to come back. I want to draw close to You again. I know I have ignored every sign urging me to change, and now, at this moment, change feels more painful than ever. Still, I ask You to forgive me for my sloth, my doubt, and my resistance. Please, Lord, help me find my way back to You.

I pray for Your provision, Father. I need Your help to provide for my son, to keep our home, and to find a job where I am surrounded by people who are kind, honest, and fair. I long for stability and the ability to support my family without fear.

Help me to let go of the bitterness and pain caused by my former bosses. Please soften my heart so that I may forgive them fully, and I ask that they, too, find it in their hearts to forgive any of my past shortcomings. Heal the wounds of the past and replace them with peace.

Lord, I need You to reveal Yourself to me in a way I can understand. I feel lost, confused, and unsure of which path to take. Please grant me clarity to know what is right and what is wrong. Show me when I should stand and fight, and when I should walk away. Lead me with Your wisdom so that I may follow the path You have prepared for me.

Thank You for Your mercy, for Your endless love, and for never giving up on me. I trust in You, Lord.
