I came across this prayer while having devotions one day. I was going through "one of those times" when prayer was what I needed and my own words just wouldn't come. It is a blessing to me still when I'm in "one of those moods."
Dear Lord,
Sometimes life seems so tough,
So unreasonable, so painful.
Yet you are here, meeting me...
In the midst of it all.
Sometimes I am overwhelmed by
The presence of negative circumstances,
I admit that some of it is of my own making,
Yet so much is beyond my control.
Too often I have failed to discern
The thread of your grace, and
The support of your "everlasting arms!"
Help me to know that my life is defined by You.
When burdened down my memories of failure,
When overwhelmed by circumstances only You can change,
Enable me to both extend and receive support and encouragement.
Abide in me Lord, that my sorrow might always become Joy in You.
In the healing name of Jesus,
Amen
