A prayer to rest in His care + live with unshakable hope

Another Tuesday, another mercy. 🤍
Today is an invitation—not to sprint into the day or measure my worth by what gets done, but to slow down + remember He is here, shaping you in ways I often only see in hindsight.
His hand is holding everything together.

Jesus, thank You for knowing all.
You know how quickly my mind gets crowded, how easily I slip into striving, how often I forget that life with You isn’t about performing or proving or keeping up—it’s about abiding.
Center me where You already are.
Teach me to move from a grounded place.
Thank You for every circumstance of refinement that reminds me You are in control.

Open my eyes to the help You send through others—the people who show up with kindness, encouragement, and strength at the exact moment I need it.
These aren’t coincidences; they’re glimpses of Your care, Your provision wrapped in human hands.
Thank You for the friends, neighbors, nurses, teachers, and quiet encouragers who become Your angels in disguise, reminding me I never walk alone.

I want to live with real hope—
not the fragile kind tied to circumstances, but the kind rooted in Your character.
Hope that shows up in ordinary moments, grows like slow, steady roots, and helps me see Your goodness in places I once overlooked.

When my heart gets hurried, slow my breath.
When I drift toward doing everything myself, remind me that community is a gift.
When I forget others carry stories I can’t see, make me gentle—present—attentive.
Help me live leaning into Your whisper—that is my JOY!

Help me practice trust in real time—
🤍 choosing presence over productivity,
🤍 pausing before I react,
🤍 receiving help instead of refusing it,
🤍 noticing the small graces in my day,
🤍 remembering formation unfolds moment by moment.

Thank You for the subtle ways You hold me—
through people, through peace, through provision I didn’t expect.
You steady me.
You surround me.
And You fill every space with sacred possibility and hope that holds.

So today, Jesus, I’ll walk slower, listen deeper, receive help freely,
and love wider— because life with You isn’t something I achieve,
it’s something I receive.

I’m so grateful, God. Worthy is Your name 🤍
