Lord,
I come to You without answers prepared and without strength to impress.
You already know where my thoughts ran ahead of my heart,
where I made decisions too quickly,
and where the weight settled before I understood why.

Slow me down enough to hear what is true.
Separate what is fear, fatigue, or habit
from what is wisdom, calling, and peace.
Where my mind rushes to conclusions,
teach my soul to wait.

When discouragement arrives suddenly,
remind me that feelings are not final verdicts.
Anchor me again in what You have already proven faithful.
If I am tired, grant rest.
If I am anxious, grant clarity.
If I am carrying more than You asked of me,
help me lay it down without guilt.

Give me discernment that is patient,
decisions that are held lightly,
and confidence that does not depend on urgency.
Let today be guided not by pressure,
but by trust.
I place this day, these thoughts, and these decisions in Your hands.
Lead me at Your pace,
and keep my heart steady in Your presence.
In Jesus Name Amen.
