A Prayer For Challenging Times

It’s relatively easy to be thankful when things are going well in life. But what about when we are facing times of great difficulty and challenge? In such instances, it requires the strengthening of our ability to find causes for gratitude even amidst undesirable circumstances and hardships. This is the true magic and medicine of appreciation.

When we can stay tethered to a deep inner knowing that, in the grand scheme of things, we are blessed and that all is well, even when there are things present in our lives that would have us believe otherwise. When we do this, we can literally transform our difficulties into opportunities for greater faith, trust, and perhaps even resilience.

This prayer was born of that intention. May it be a source of support to you during those times when you are finding it hard to see the light in the darkness.

Thank you,

God,

For the gift of these challenges,

For helping me to overcome and make it to this point,

For the resilience these experiences have forced me to access and cultivate.

Thank you for all the support I have received the whole way through,

And for the deeper reliance I have had to have on you.

Thank you for the precious moments of joy and levity that have been amplified during this sojourn.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn what it means to have peace beyond understanding,

Joy that nothing and no one can take away,

And the strength to rise above my circumstances.

Most of all,

Thank you for walking with me and holding my hand,

For carrying me and seeing me through every step of the way.
