Dear Lord,

As I begin this new cycle, I place my heart and hopes in Your hands.
You know my longing, my prayers, and my quiet strength.

Bless my body with balance, health, and peace —
and guide every step of this journey with gentle purpose.

May Your light touch each moment —
the waiting, the hoping, the caring, the trying —
and may it lead us closer to the gift we are praying for.

Calm my mind when worry comes,
and remind me that Your timing is perfect,
and Your love never fails.

Amen.
