Lord, You know my desire to have close relationships based on truth and goodness. You also see my tendency to try to control my circumstances and the people around me when things look scary and unknown because of what I’ve been through. Help me step forward as the healed version You see in me—the one You’re making me into. This feels messy and unpredictable, but I know I can trust You and the ways You are working on me and for me. I pray all of this in Jesus’ name, amen.
