A Short Prayer To Ask God For Hope When You’re Struggling To Believe There Are Better Days

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything “right” and still not seeing the breakthrough. If your heart is whispering, Please let this make sense soon, this prayer is a handhold for the next step.

Dear God, give me hope.

Hope that all things will be as you say they will be. Hope that all pain will be released. Hope that everything will fall according to plan. Hope that there will be better days.

I am so tired right now. Tired of waiting, tired of trusting, tired of believing in the unseen. I want everything to make sense. I want to know I’m on the right path. I want to know that no matter what, you’ll be here. I know you are, but I want to feel you. And yet, I know that true faith is letting yourself be led.

So I’m going to let myself be led—by you, by your words, by the truth I feel in my bones. Father, give me hope to face another day, hope for what’s to come, hope for all that you will reveal to me in time.

Amen.
