Dear God:
I am weary, and I need Your strength.
I am scared, and I ask Your protection.
I am unsure, and I plea for the confidence of Your Word.
What is happening around me, near me, within me,
is taking my breath away, and not in a good way.
There is so much hate, so much blame, so much shame.
I am weary, God, and I need Your strength.
I am scared, God, and I ask Your protection.
I am unsure, God, and I plea for the confidence of Your Word.
Give me whatever I need, God, to regain steady breathing.
Bless me with the tolerance and patience to wait in Your love.
Only You, God, know how to help me.
Only You, God, can heal my soul.
Only You, God, will guard my actions.
Keep me safe, God, my heart hold close.
Amen.
