Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him with heavy burdens (Matthew 11:28), including the weight of repeated failure.

Father, I confess that I sometimes return to things that degrade me—shame, sin, patterns I know destroy me. I hate that I do this. I don't want to live this way. Break the cycle in me. Give me the courage to turn away completely, not just with willpower but with a heart that loves You more than the temporary relief of old sins. Help me remember my true identity in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
