A prayer for strength — for when you’re running on empty and don’t know where the next bit of energy will come from. Honest prayers for physical, emotional, and spiritual strength when you feel like you can’t go on.
A Prayer for When You’re Running on Empty
Lord, I’m tired. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes — the deep, bone-level exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long.
I don’t have the strength to keep going on my own. So I’m asking for Yours. Fill me up when I’m empty. Hold me up when my legs are shaking. Give me one more day, one more hour, one more step — whatever I need right now.
You don’t just give strength. You are strength. And I need You.
Amen.
A Prayer for When You Feel Like Giving Up
God, I’m close to the edge. I’ve been fighting for so long and I’m not sure I have anything left. The temptation to quit is real and it’s loud.
Please remind me why I started. Give me a reason to keep going that’s bigger than my fatigue. And when I can’t see the finish line, help me trust that it’s still there.
I don’t have to be strong enough on my own. Your strength is enough for both of us.
Amen.
