Prayer in a time like this

Lord, I know that You have plans designed for me that I may not completely understand and the best thing about it is that I really don’t have to. I just need to believe that what’s happening right now, good or not, are things that I have to go through to achieve total transition from the good life that I have now to a better one. I must ask You, though, that You give me the courage to face all the trials with both strength and knowledge to fully comprehend of what’s in store for me once all these chaos are done. As I understand, one has to go through great pain to achieve total transformation. At this very moment, my heart is sinking with disappointment. You know that I am fighting off storms that are greater than I am, it is so overwhelming and consuming to learn that I am powerless over these circumstances. But You are greater than any storm. In your command, thunders silence and the angry waves pacify. You are the only one who could lift me up from the rut I find myself in. I feel like crying but deep in my heart a comforting voice is saying that everything will be alright. I just know that is is You.

In times like these, I lose faith in myself and let You take control of my burdens. I am so tired and its draining my senses both mentally and emotionally. Please show Thyself and take all my burdens away. You, among all other people, know what’s in my heart. I may show courage or lack of concern, but You see more than the superficial.

I am at your mercy. Please do hear me as I pray. Leave me not as I battle my fear away and stay until I achieve victory over these predicaments. You are my only stronghold, my guiding light and my salvation.

Thank you, Lord for the promises of hope and love that I will continually hold on to, to the very last of my breath.

All these things I pray, in the mighty name of my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.
