Dear God, thank You for this new week and for choosing to breathe life into me again. This year has been full of blessings, but also full of challenges, and I know I’ve only kept going because of You, not my own strength. Your word in Colossians 1:17 says, “And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” God, I thank You for holding me together through everything I’ve been carrying. Your promise in Revelation 21:4 reminds me that You’re never blind to my tears or deaf to my prayers, and that gives me hope as I step into this week. I don’t fully understand what You’re doing, but I trust You knew it from the beginning. I’ll keep putting my hope in Your word and waiting on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. -Psalm 138:8
