A prayer for you

Prayer for When You Feel Stuck

When you feel stuck — in a rut, a situation, a version of yourself you can't move past — here are words for the standstill.

Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. I will even make a way in the wilderness.
Isaiah 43:19 (WEBBE)

Lord, I feel stuck. Same rut, same struggles, the same heaviness I cannot seem to move past, no matter how many fresh starts I attempt. Your word speaks of You doing a new thing, making a way even in a wilderness — and right now my life feels like a wilderness with no path through it. I am not asking for an overnight transformation; I am asking You to make even a narrow way where I cannot see one, and to give me the courage to take it. Show me the one thing that is actually within my power to change, and free me from fixating on all the things that are not. Loosen whatever has me frozen — the fear, the shame, the exhaustion. And where I am stuck because I need help I have not yet asked for, nudge me toward it. Make a way for me, Lord, even here. I am willing to walk it, however slowly. Amen.
