The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7

God, I feel lost and overwhelmed; the world seems out of control. Please help me remember that You made this world and declared it good. Give me the comfort of Your presence and the confidence to trust You even when nothing seems to change. Calm my mind, bring peace to my heart and strengthen my spirit to carry on in the midst of loss. Lay a path for me, and help me follow Your way as I move forward. Amen.

Dear Lord, reassure me that You are here with me now. Help me live today relying on Your strength and trusting Your will. I know that everything is possible in Your hands. Thank You for Your love, care and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, grant me the greatness of soul to confront my problems intelligently and courageously. Remind me that no problem is too small to bring to You in prayer. Teach me to live in Your wisdom, and help me to appreciate the many gifts You bring into my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Always-present Lord, I feel that I’ve been abandoned. I have had this sense before in my life, but this time it feels overwhelming. I feel that the loved one I’ve lost has abandoned me, and I worry that others in my life will abandon me. I even wonder if You have abandoned me. Comfort me. Remind me that You never abandon those who love You and turn to You as I am doing.
