Comfort in the Midst of Despair
O God, you know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I
wonder if you are there—if you hear—if
there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms
around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when
days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I
pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that
waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me.
Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in
your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask
this for the sake of your love. Amen.
