Father in heaven,
My prayers have not been answered in the way I hoped. This year, I lost two siblings and my mother, even though I begged You to shield my heart from this pain. It has shaken my faith, and I find myself afraid to ask for anything anymore, as it seems the opposite of my pleas often comes to pass.

Lord, I am weary and burdened. Please help me to trust in Your plan, even when I cannot understand it. Strengthen my heart, renew my faith.
