One of the hardest things about being human in this broken world is experiencing pain without quick-fix answers and consistent happy endings. We all face challenges that feel overwhelming. We struggle when we don’t know what to do. For those with mental, emotional, or physical health concerns, the feelings of overwhelm can seem never-ending. Even so, there is hope. So much hope. Our God is bigger and better than we know. One thing we are guaranteed is that the presence of God is with us through every challenge and struggle we face. Prayer isn’t meant to be the be-all and end-all. It’s meant to bring us close to the One who holds it all.Like you did with Peter, and so many others, show me where you are and where you want to take me. When you call me out of my places of self-protection, help me trust You fully.Give me courage to focus on You and not the fear I feel. I am reminded that You will not sink. You will not fall. You love me even when I doubt and am afraid. You offer courage to move ahead anyway. I need to see You reaching out for my son and know Your solid foundation under my son.In the middle of my stormy fears, show me You are near, and You see my tears for my son. In the Name above all other names, Help Us! Amen.
BethLauren, I am praying for your son and family. May the grace of God help him and your family turn the corner toward a better path. Amen.
.Lord, Please bless this family with healing,guidance,strength,peace and comfort. Place people in their lives who can help them and care for them. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
