A Prayer for Strength in Recovery
Recovery after illness, addiction, burnout, grief, or crisis often takes longer than expected. This prayer asks for steady strength when progress is real but incomplete.
Lord, I am recovering, but I am not finished. Give me patience with the pace of healing. Help me respect limits without treating them as permanent defeat. Strengthen me to keep the routines, treatments, meetings, or habits that support recovery. When progress feels slow, remind me that slow progress is still progress. Give me grace for setbacks and courage to continue.
Amen.
Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 Psalm 23:3
