A cross that I have been carrying was a lack of confidence that I'll ever amount to anything great in life. I am uncertain and fearful of my future. That, in trying to make do with what I was given and in times that I've resigned myself to feelings of defeat and self-loathing, I would usually turn my head and hide my face whenever I felt grateful and happy because I didn't want to be caught with my guards lowered, convincing myself that moments like these are fleeting and moments of failure are overpowering. I know that my fears have merit. If I can't convince myself or the people around me that I am good and am capable of good, at the very least, I pray that God does. I need the bravery to overcome my cross. I need my dreams to overcome my doubts, not the other way around. I need more courage to see myself, bare and mediocre, as worth of love and attention that I did, at some point, believe. It's not anymore about fearing to make mistakes, but now about putting a brave face whenever I stumble on a pitfall and catch sight of yet another ugly and new part about me. I hope I can trust God that there's truth in the saying it's never too late to start something and that there's many paths to a good life for me.

I often feel the weight of trying to live up to expectations, whether from myself or others, and sometimes find myself caught between wanting to make a meaningful impact and feeling unsure about the path to take.

The graces I need from the Lord are the courage to trust in His plan, even when the way forward feels unclear, and the wisdom to discern where I am being called to serve. I also seek the grace of patience, to allow things to unfold in His time rather than rushing in my own. Lastly, I ask for peace, to let go of worries that I cannot control and carry these crosses with faith and hope.
