Father,
Some memories still sting.
Some chapters still confuse me.
Some parts of my story feel unfinished, but today I surrender them all.
I release the need to rewrite what already happened.
I release the urge to make it make sense.
I release the heaviness of trying to carry what only You can redeem.
You saw what I didn’t,
You protected me even when I felt abandoned,
You were working even in the moments I thought were wasted.
Help me let go of what I will never get closure from.
Help me release the apology I never received.
Help me trust that justice does not always come in the form I imagined,
but in the healing that You faithfully bring.
Let Your peace override every unanswered question.
Let Your truth silence every lie that told me it was my fault.
Let Your presence sit in every space that still aches.
I may not understand everything, but I choose to believe You are still good.
I choose to believe nothing is beyond Your reach,
and no part of my past is beyond Your power to repurpose.
Today I breathe deeper.
I cry if I need to.
I let it go for real this time.
And I take hold of what You are offering me—peace, purpose, and the power to move forward.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
