When life knocks me down, I’ve learned to sift through the rubble and look for the lessons hidden amongst the debris. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and the pain, but somewhere beneath the surface, buried under the rubble of disappointment and fear, lies a chance to rebuild, stronger and wiser. Those moments of struggle, the ones that force me to confront my vulnerabilities, are the same ones that reveal my true strength and resilience. And in those moments of raw vulnerability, as I dig through the rubble of my former self, I discover a deeper connection to myself and the world around me.

Your journey is unique, and the challenges you face will leave you sifting through the rubble of your expectations. Embrace the stumbles and setbacks, for they are the stepping stones leading you towards your true potential. Don’t let fear hold you back from exploring the depths of your resilience; it’s in those depths, amidst the rubble of your past, that you’ll find the strength to overcome any obstacle and emerge even brighter.

Dear God, grant us the courage to face our challenges head-on, even when our hearts are heavy with doubt and we feel buried beneath the rubble of our fears. Help us to see the opportunities hidden within the struggles, to trust that something beautiful can blossom from the wreckage. Give us the strength to rise from the ashes, to clear away the rubble and rebuild our lives with purpose and determination. May we always remember that even in the darkest of times, there is a chance for growth and renewal, and that within us lies the power to transform our pain into something meaningful. Walking with you in Divinity, Amen.
