I Asked for Strength, Not Certainty

Dear Delyara, My spiritual life has changed in a way that feels quieter and truer. I used to pray for certainty. Clear answers. Definite signs. Reassurance about outcomes. A future I could emotionally pre-approve before agreeing to live it. Now I ask for strength. Strength to stay soft in uncertainty. Strength to not panic when I don’t know yet. Strength to remain honest when life feels delayed. Strength to continue without guarantees. That shift has made me less performative and more real. I don’t know if that looks spiritual from the outside. Inside, it feels like growth.
