Oh Lord my God, my Mighty Counselor, the Lord of all things great and small, oh wondrous Prince of Peace; hear my pleas Father, for your child is in need of your comforting hand and the joy of your spirit in my soul.
Father, I’ve been feeling pretty low recently, and have been doubting my worth - a yearly affair it seems. Today I found out something that drove the thorn even deeper. It made me second guess everything that I went through and Lord, you know the pain in my heart. I ask of myself, why am I never good enough? Why do I do the right thing but still feel so much pain? But God, I know that these temporary feeling of pain is but a scratch compared to the absence of your peace, were I to go against your wishes.
Lord, forgive me my feeling of worthlessness, forgive me the time I spent feeling sorry for myself. Please grant me wisdom to know that your way has never been faulty, and has always been the best for the glory of your kingdom. May you grant me the strength and perseverance to abide by your will, and take not my grief away, but rather grant your child the strength to persevere till the very end. For in my weaknesses, your perfection is glorified. In my insuffiency, your providence is plainly evident.
I already feel better, praying. Thank you Father for your unconditional love!
In your son’s most precious name I pray, amen!
