Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him with our futures and uncertainties—Matthew 11:28 reminds us He offers rest for our souls.

Father, thank You for this season of growth and for bringing me to this moment. I don't know what's ahead, and that's terrifying. Help me trust You with my next steps, not just my plans. Give me wisdom to build on what I've learned, courage to pass it on to others, and a heart that honors You in whatever comes next. I surrender my timeline, my fears, and my ambitions to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
