You Are Worthy of a New Beginning ਨਮੂਨਾ

A Prayer for the One Longing to Start Again

Father God,

I come to You with a heart that is heavy, worn, and desperately in need of a fresh start. I’ve tried to hold it together, but deep down, I feel lost beneath the weight of my past—the pain I’ve endured, the choices I’ve made, the shame I can’t seem to shake.

Lord, I don’t want to stay stuck here. I want to move forward. I want to believe again. I want to hope again. But I’m scared. I’m tired. And if I’m honest, part of me wonders if I’m even worthy of a new beginning.

But Your Word says You make all things new.
You don’t discard broken people—You redeem them.
You don’t shame the hurting—You heal them.

So here I am, surrendering every piece of my story into Your hands. I lay down every lie that says I’m too far gone. I let go of the labels that have tried to define me. I release the fear that has gripped my heart for far too long.

God, I need You to breathe new life into me.
Give me the courage to believe that what’s ahead can be better than what’s behind. Remind me that You still have a plan for me—a purpose for my pain, a calling that still stands, a future worth hoping for.

Even when I can’t see it, help me trust that You’re doing a new thing in me.
Restore my joy. Renew my strength. Rebuild my hope.

Thank You for never giving up on me. Thank You for loving me at my lowest and lifting me when I couldn’t stand on my own. Today, I receive Your grace. I receive Your mercy. And I say yes to the new beginning You’re offering me.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
