Today I pray

To my God,

It has been several days since I last prayed to you in this way. This past week or so has been full of anxiety, frustration and impatience. I have found my way back to a very dark place which is full of loneliness and fatigue.

You know what is in my heart and my desire to serve you fully. I pray you will bring those things back to the surface and allow me to focus on your call. Allow me also to become more trusting of you and your plan. I have sat idly by waiting for action from you when I know you have given me the tools to create my own success.

Give me the courage to fail and the strength to move forward from failure to the success you have in store for me. Allow me the bounty of the seeds I have sown and more importantly to share the bounty with those who are in need.

Thank you to friends who are supportive without question or judgement. Give me the ability to be the same kind of friend.

Lord, I need your intercession in my life. I am asking you to more fully show me the opportunities I should be seeking. This is a time in my life where I thought I would never be, needing to be on the receiving rather than the giving end of assistance.

In trying times such as these help me to find some level of contentment with where I am in my life but do not allow me to become complacent or lazy. Keep me mindful that you are with me always no matter how dark it seems you are the light I am to cling. All of this I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen
