prayer for someone who has had a turbulent 2023

You entered the year full of hope and dreams

You had your plans laid out and your goals defined

You told God everything you wanted, and you received it all by faith

You had your sleeves rolled up, you were ready to do the hard work

But the storms came and swept you off your path

And the whirlwind came to blow away some of the things you love the most

Then the darkness overwhelmed the light that burned inside you

You knocked so hard, but the doors did not open

You asked so many times, but you could not get what you needed

You searched everywhere, but you didn’t find what you were looking for

Month after month after month, you hoped for a breakthrough

You cried more than you laughed; you carried loss and grief in your broken heart

You were sad, you were afraid, you were frustrated, you were confused

You wondered if you would ever rise from the rubbles of your shattered dreams

You wondered if you will ever make it out of this dark night of your soul

Here is my prayer for you;

This year has not come to stay; it will not last forever

This year will go away with all its troubles and darkness

When it is all done and gone, you will still be here, standing tall

You will be here, evolved and unravelled into your true greatness

You will be here, soaring, thriving, and shining for the world to see

You will be here to welcome a new year and receive the love, healing, connection, overflow, ease, abundance, success, health, great joy and peace it brings you.
