Dear God, give me the courage to begin again,
to overlook the difficulties,
to overcome the obstacles
and to stay open to the moment as best I can.
Help me be patient enough
to know it takes time to start over,
and wise enough to ask for help
from friends and family when I need it.
As I look to the future, may I reflect
on the past and remember the lessons
it's taught me.
And God, may I always look to You
for strength and guidance.
