Dear God,

I ask you to take all this pain, this disease, this death that is surrounding those close to me. Please release them from the grips of the agony, the dysfunction, the unbearable loss. Guide their hearts away from the sadness and toward Your embrace.

I pray today God, that through Your grace, I will receive the wisdom to know when to share my thoughts and when to just listen. I pray that by Your guidance, I will know when to act and when to be still. I pray for Your words, Your will, Your path before me. Please show me the steps to take and how to help.

There is so much anxiety in my powerlessness that I know only through You will I receive relief. Free me from the shackles that bind me to the lie of control. Liberate me from my ego so that I can be of service to my family and my friends as they travel through these seasons of uncertainty, doubt, grief.

I thank You, God, for blessing me with the voice of love and understanding in my ear at the end of my day. You always know exactly what I need and when I need it. Through that, I trust that You know exactly what my family and my friends need and when they need it. I pray that You will shower them with Your blessings also.

With faith and gratitude, I am forever Yours,
Jessica
