Resilience
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed."
— 2 Corinthians 4:8
God of strength,
Life has sometimes struck me hard. Trials I did not expect, losses that broke me, failures that made me doubt. And yet, I am still here.
Thank You for this strength of resilience You have placed in me. This ability to get back up after falls, to continue despite wounds, to transform trials into growth.
Strengthen my resilience for the challenges to come. May I never be completely defeated, may I always find in You the strength to rise again, to start over, to continue hoping.
Amen.

Reflection
What trial have you overcome that you are proud of? This memory can give you confidence for challenges to come.
For all those who are down and need strength to rise again.
