A Prayer for When You Feel Defeated
Father, I come to You feeling defeated. I am tired, discouraged, and unsure how to keep going.
You see every battle I have fought and every weight I carry. Lift my head, Lord, and remind me that I am not alone. Your strength is made perfect when I am weak.
Give me hope for today and courage for tomorrow. Help me to rest in Your love and to trust that You are still at work, even when I cannot see it.
Carry me, gentle Father, until I can stand again. In Jesus' name, Amen.
When to Pray This
Pray this when a loss, failure, or long struggle has left you feeling beaten down. Sit quietly for a moment first, and let God meet you right where you are. Return to it whenever discouragement comes back.
A Verse to Hold On To
