Sometimes all you need is a quiet moment to reset. This short prayer is a simple way to realign your thoughts and find calm again. Read it slowly—twice if you can. Heavenly Father, make me better.

Autumn was supposed to feel peaceful, God — full of warmth, reflection, and quiet transformation. It was meant to bring stillness to what was restless, to soften what had hardened through the summer. But instead, it feels heavy.

1. You’re Struggling Sometimes the greatest evidence of God’s movement isn’t comfort, but discomfort. Struggle doesn’t mean you’ve been abandoned—it often means something sacred is shifting beneath the surface.

When anxiety starts to pull you toward the past or the future, this prayer helps bring you back to center. It’s a quiet reminder that peace is found right here, right now.

You’ve become so used to being the one others count on that it can feel unfamiliar, and at times even unsafe, to let yourself fall apart. Strength became your default, not out of pride, but out of necessity.

Not every loss looks like a tragedy when you look back at it from a healed place. And some goodbyes don’t take anything from you — they return you to yourself.

Closure is one of the things we convince ourselves we need in order to move on.

There are wounds we learn to live with long before we understand them. Words spoken over us that we never asked to carry. Moments that shaped us in ways we didn’t choose.

You had a timeline. Not one built from fantasy, but from faith.

How you know it’s from God: When something is from God, it brings peace. Not stress or pressure. You don’t feel rushed, confused, or anxious. Instead, you feel calm, even if you don’t have all the answers yet.

Real love won’t pull you away from yourself. It won’t make you question your worth or silence your voice. It won’t ask you to become smaller just to stay close.
