A Prayer for the Journey from a Place of Disappointment

As you go on your way remember: you are valuable now. You are valuable now in this place. You are full of wisdom.

You have nothing to prove. Use this time to grow. What other opportunities are around you? How can you make a difference? Trust your instincts. Open yourself to this new journey.

Fear may walk beside you, but so does Hashem. Draw on that holiness; it is already inside of you. Keep cultivating it. Put your dreams out there; say them out loud. Believe that good will come to you.

יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁתּוֹלִיכֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם וְתַצְעִידֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם וְתַדְרִיכֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם, וְתִסְמְכֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם, וְתַגִּיעֵנוּ לִמְחוֹז חֶפְצֵנוּ לְחַיִּים וּלְשִׂמְחָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם.

May it be Your will, Hashem, our God and the God of our ancestors, that You lead us toward peace, guide our footsteps toward peace, and make us reach our desired destination for life, gladness, and peace.
