Most Tenderhearted God, when I cry out to You, deliver me from my troubles. I am trusting that when storms come rushing in, You will be there to rescue me. When my enemies come to destroy my life, You will be there to defend me. And, when sickness comes to steal my good health, You will be there to heal me. As Your child, I believe that I have favor with You and Your goal is to bring me joy and give me blessings. I don’t believe that just because I’ve given my heart to You that I’m somehow untouchable and will not have to face trials. I rejoice in the fact that whatever I face I do not have to face it alone. And, when I am weak, You will be my strength. It’s Your love that consoles me when things do no go the way I plan them. It’s Your wisdom that shows me the way around any problem I encounter. I believe that, if I will be patient and wait for Your instructions, I will be able to overcome any obstacle.
It is my faith in You that renews my strength and enables me to keep going when everything in me says “give up.” Through the infusion of power, supplied by the Holy Spirit, I am able to persevere through even my most difficult times. Through Your loving mercy, I am consoled in my times of tribulation and comforted when I am surrounded by problems. When I feel my spirit being drained, You infuse me with hope and the promise of a better tomorrow which infuses me with the courage I need to persevere. Whenever I feel my spirits sinking, You encourage me to think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and good. This new thinking pushes out the negativity and replaces it with optimism. Only You can heal my broken heart and bind up my wounds. When I abide in You, I feel safe, secure and treasured.
When my spirit is weak, I find myself vulnerable and depressed. If I go running to You for safety, fear and worry cannot entangle me in their web. If I stay close to You, I believe You will strengthen me and equip me for any struggle I encounter. You have assured me that, if I will humble myself and exalt You, I will find it easier to give my problems to You for handling. Whenever I feel like I’m losing my grip, the antidote is to turn to You in prayer and not lose hope. Each day is filled with hope and opportunities for good to fill my life … if I make You Lord of my life, walk as You walked, love as You loved, obey as You obeyed and give of myself as You gave of Yourself. Sorrow and complaining will fade away as I learn to “let go and let God.” If I trust You, do what is good, live unselfishly and remain faithful to You, You will be there whenever my spirit is weak. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Isaiah 41:10 Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
