Prayer: Sometimes Life Is Overwhelming

A very special friend told me today her father is not doing well and may very well be on his way to join his loving wife who passed just 1 year ago and his Savior. She is hurting as well as her family and asked that I keep them in my prayers. Connie you and your family are in my prayers.

Here is a special prayer that has given me comfort......

Loving Father,
Sometimes life can seem so overwhelming,
The pain is so deep,
the confusion so dense,
the struggle so disheartening.
But You, O God, know the full
measure of my anguish.
My feelings are as transparent
to You as my actions.
You have invited me to “be
myself” in prayer,
and so I am free to express the full
intensity of my emotions,
knowing that my honesty opens
the door to healing.
In the name of Him who prayed
for me with all the passion in His soul,
Your Son, Jesus.
Amen

From The Journey of Prayer by Terry W. Glaspey

Many hugs go out to all who are suffering. God truly has shown me his strength in my weakness. I pray he will for you too.
