Dear Lord,

I am tired—mentally and emotionally. My colleague has been one of the reasons for my anxiety at work, and when I get home, my husband and I haven’t talked for almost two months because of various things. My kids are just irritating one another. We are just two people existing for the kids, but not truly living.

I have prayed a lot, but I feel like nothing is happening. I pray that my anxiety will slowly be removed from my system and that You give me more strength to heal internally. I smile, yet my heart is crying—holding on to our family, yet feeling like giving up is slowly coming in. I wake up and thank God that I’m still here.

I really want to give up, but I think of the kids. I can’t bear the thought of not seeing them have their family.

May our permanent residency be approved by April 2026, and may we become debt-free, including our credit card debts, so we can pay what we owe back home.

Lord, please heal our traumas and ease our burdens. I lift to You all of our anxiety and pain—my family’s and my husband’s. Please help us overcome our fears, and may 2026 be a better year for us as we move forward.

Amen.
