Resilience

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed."

— 2 Corinthians 4:8

Lord of strength,

Life has sometimes struck me hard. Trials that could have broken me. Yet I am still standing. This ability to bounce back is precious.

Thank You for this resilience in me. For this deep strength that allows me to get back up, learn from my falls, continue despite everything.

Continue to strengthen my resilience. May each difficulty I go through make me stronger, wiser, more compassionate. I am not defined by my trials but by how I go through them.

Amen.

Reflection

What trial have you overcome that proves your resilience? Remember this strength when you doubt.

For all those going through trials who need resilience.
