Father God, I come to You in the depth of my pain and sorrow for You are my comfort. Let the prayers which fall from my lips bring me into Your dwelling. Replenish the weary spirit of Your treasured child. Lead me to the streams of living water in the hope of Your promises fulfilled. Have me drink in the sweet peace of Your Word as I am comforted by whispers of Your voice. Speak to me in the desert of loneliness so that I can find my way to the oasis of Your love. In my stumbling, I know that You will pick me up. In my falling, I have confidence that You will catch me. For my trust is in You, Jesus. My hope finds breath in Your truth. My faith thrives in union with Your Spirit. My heart, rooted in joy and sustained in love, will survive the onslaught because I am eternally Yours, O God. Under the beautiful promise of Isaiah 41:10 and the authority of Christ Jesus, I set these prayers at the feet of my glorious King.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you.
    Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God.
    I will strengthen you.
    Yes, I will help you.
    Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10, WEB
