A Kiss from Rose | A Prayer to Truly Live Not Just Exist

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heart that longs for more, not more things, but more of You. More clarity. More purpose. More joy. I don’t want just to breathe, I want to live. I don’t want just to make it through the day, I want to thrive in the day You’ve made.

God, shake me from anything that resembles a lifeless routine. Remove the weight of survival-mode. Release me from anything that causes me to shrink when You’ve called me to stand tall. Awaken my spirit to the beauty of each moment. Let me laugh without restraint, love without fear, and walk in freedom without apology.

Help me not just count the days but make the days count. Let my life reflect more than obligations. Let it overflow with divine intention. Fill me with boldness to pursue dreams I’ve shelved. Give me the strength to walk away from what dims my light and passion to run toward what sets my soul on fire.

Let peace reign where there was once chaos. Let hope grow where there was once discouragement. Let joy be my portion, and purpose be my path.

Breathe new life into the dry places. Let me wake up each day excited to discover what You’ve prepared for me. Open doors, I didn’t even knock on. Align me with people who speak life and stir greatness.

This life is a gift. I don’t want to waste it merely existing, I want to honor You by truly living.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
