Ever-Present God,

I come before You today,

seeking Your strength and guidance.

You have created me in Your image, and I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by Your hands.

In moments when the world feels heavy and the voices of rejection are loud, remind me that it is

Your voice and love that truly matter.

Help me to feel Your presence and to remember that Your love for me is boundless and unconditional.

When I feel weary, be my rest. When I feel lost, be my guide. Strengthen me with the knowledge that I am never alone,

for You are with me in every trial and every joy.

Give me courage to embrace my truth fully, knowing that my identity reflects the diversity and beauty of Your creation.

Surround me with love and support, and grant me peace in the certainty that nothing can separate me from Your love.

Help me to shine my light boldly in this world,

trusting that I am Your beloved child, embraced just as I am.

Thank You for Your unfailing love, Your grace, and Your strength that sustains me.

I trust in You and rest in Your promises.

In Your holy name, I pray. Amen
