I’m realizing that I don’t want life to be easier; I want to become stronger. Bring on the challenges, the obstacles, the tests of my resilience. I crave the opportunity to grow, to learn, to expand my capacity for handling whatever life throws my way. It’s not about avoiding the weight of the world, but about developing the strength to carry it with grace and determination. With every hurdle I overcome, I feel a surge of pride and a deeper connection to my true self.

You were built for this. You have a well of strength inside you, waiting to be tapped. Don’t shy away from the tough stuff. Embrace the challenges that life presents, knowing that they are opportunities for growth and transformation. Each obstacle you overcome, each burden you bear, builds your resilience and reveals your inner power. You are capable of weathering any storm, of rising above any challenge, and of emerging stronger and more beautiful than before.

Divine Source, we ask for strength, not for an easier path. Help us to face life’s challenges with courage and determination. Grant us the resilience to withstand adversity and the wisdom to learn from every experience. May we grow stronger, wiser, and more capable with each passing day, ready to embrace the fullness of life with open arms and a fearless heart. Carry us when we falter, remind us of our strength, and fill us with an unwavering faith in your loving presence. Amen.
