Sometimes you don\u2019t need a brand-new life\u2014you just need your spirit to feel clean again, like you can breathe without the weight of yesterday. If you\u2019ve been stuck in a loop of not-enough and trying-harder, this prayer is a reset for your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear God, renew my spirit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please fill my bones with confidence, my tired cells with strength. Help me to rely not only on my earthly body, but on you, because you will give me a life beyond this one. Instead of focusing on all my failures and ways I don\u2019t measure up, remind me of the power I find when I let you guide my path. When I stop worrying about how I am less, or not enough, and know that you are always, and infinitely more than I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, please renew my spirit. Give me a heart that beats wildly for you, legs that carry me forward along your path, and a mind that is forever putting you first. Help me to feel light and free, and to follow you all of my days, rather than sink in negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
