Lord, You who are all good and kind.
Today, my heart felt heavy with disappointment. I feel disappointed in myself and in the things I’ve done. I ask myself: Have I truly done well? Do I really have what it takes to keep going? And then I realize, even when I try my best, others may not see or recognize the effort I’ve made.
In moments like these, I feel small and weary. Please help me to find again Your loving gaze, a gaze that does not judge or demand success, but simply longs for me to stay close and trust in You.
Help me not to lose hope, not to measure my worth by how others see me. Remind me that You see me, You understand, and You walk with me — even when the fruits of my efforts are still unseen. I offer You this tired heart, Lord. Please heal me, and lift me up again. Amen.
