I know you can be in a situation where you don't understand what is going on or don't know the right words to pray with.
I know it can be overwhelming and sometimes, you just find yourself crying and telling God to help you, whispering the words "Help me lord", with tears dropping from your eyes and you feel sometimes, you can't go on Sometimes, the words feel heavy and you just wish that season can pass away but nothing changes.
You can go further and tell Him,
Jesus, some days my world seems to be spinning out of control. There are days where I long to just say, "Enough." Where can I turn? Who can I talk to?
You're the only one I know who will truly listen, Lord and I know you have the answers but, i can't seem to find them.
I long to see a little clearing in this tunnel. I need a little hope, Jesus.
Your Word tells me I can come to you for that hope and you won't disappoint, that your load is easy and your burden light.
Give me a new perspective, Lord and blow away the cobwebs that keep cluttering my mind and my vision.
I ask that You would remind my heart of this beautiful truth: You are not a Father who would abandon us in our trials or in our pain. You are near to the broken-hearted and You have given us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. You are the help we need when we face various storms in our life.
I lift my eyes to the heavens and know that You hear my cries. I trust that even if my circumstances do not change, You are working in my life to use these hard times to change me to look more like Your Son, Jesus.
Every time I'm tempted to become discouraged or depressed because of negative events or situations, help me turn my eyes on you. Help me to remember all the times you've been there for me, and all the ways you have brought me through difficult times. I forget to thank you sometimes, but I am so grateful for your faithfulness.
When things look hopeless, I will hope in you. Thank you for reminding me of that in your Word. Your spirit lives in us—in me—as your child and follower. Sometimes I forget that!
Thank you for understanding me and loving me, just as I am and thank you for accepting me even when I was a hopeless case, just as we all were at one time. With my eyes on you, I want to see life as you see it. I don't want to waste time being negative or withdrawn from others, focusing only on what can't be or what might never change.
Teach me how to find contentment even if my circumstances remain the same. With your perspective, I can push past the impossible and find the strength and courage to believe that no matter what happens, your hope will lift me to a higher plane where joy and purpose reign again.
In Jesus name that is above all names and all these mess, Amen.
Don't give up! Always pray! He is waiting for you!
