Prayer for Staying the Course

For the teacher who is weary and needs to rest

Lord, I won't pretend today. I am tired. But I know that weariness is not defeat — it is an invitation to rest in You. I don't have to strive. I don't have to perform. The ground I stand on was won by Christ and nothing can take that from me. Remind me of why I said yes. Show me even one life that has been touched. Restore my joy from the inside out — not because circumstances changed but because You are unchanging. I am not fighting for victory. I am resting in it. Amen.
