A Prayer for Recovery and Restored Strength

Lord, the worst may be over, but I am not myself yet. Thank You for bringing me this far.

Rebuild my strength the way You made the world — a little each day, and all of it good. Guard me from setbacks. Give me patience with a body that heals slower than I would like.

Help me rest without guilt, eat well, take my medicine, and trust that recovering is also holy work.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this during the in-between weeks — after the crisis, before full strength returns. It's a good prayer for the first slow walk around the block.
