Dear God, I come to you today feeling weary and burdened with sorrow. My heart is heavy, and I feel overwhelmed by the challenges and struggles that I am facing. But I know that you are a God who cares deeply for me, and I trust in your promise to strengthen me according to your Word.

Thank you for your Word that is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Strengthen me according to your Word, Lord, and help me to always keep my eyes fixed on you.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
