A Prayer For Troubled Times
Dear Jesus, This seems to be one of those times when troubles abound, but I know that You understand and can take care of us. Where there are problems and pain, give Your peace and mercy. Where there is tiredness, please give understanding of Your strength, and show us how to tap into that strength by leaning on You. Where there are difficult decisions to make, or confusion or stress, make Your way plain and give everything needed for us to follow where You lead. Where there is loneliness, I ask You to renew the experience of Your nearness and draw us into greater intimacy with You. Where there is insecurity or self-doubt, please grant renewed confidence in Your abilities, more faith in You inside each of us. Where there is fear, please demonstrate Your love and give courage, as we know You can work out any situation for the best. Where there is something blocking fellowship with You, please reveal the obstacle and take it away—whether sin, circumstances, or lack of faith. Where there is a need for finances or other provision, please supply as You promised in Your Word, “God will supply all your need” (Philippians 4:19 KJV). Where there is illness, send healing by Your miracle-working power and give instruction for healthful lifestyles. Where there is a need for friendship and love, send other believers to fill up the void, as the Bible says, “If we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ does, then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other” (1 John 1:7 TLB).Where there is a spiritual emptiness, send Your Word for inspiration, and grant sweet communion with You in prayer. Whatever the need, please fill it, Jesus, as the Giver of all good things. Amen. |
