Prayer: Help My Unbelief

           Lord, there is nothing better than You. Thank you for putting me back together and making me whole. Help me to walk peaceably with others as much as it depends on me. (Romans 12: 18) God, I am struggling in this moment; so, I cry out to You, my refuge and my strength. This moment feels like defeat and it’s hard to see hope ahead; so, I thank You that the promise of Your word is that You will complete the good work that You started. (Philippians 1:6) “Help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) Thank You for the work You have done; remind me of Your faithfulness. Thank You for the work You are currently doing; give me eyes to see. Thank You for the work You will do; grant me faith to believe. I am begging you to show me the faithfulness of Your promise. I cling to the truth that “The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you.” (Deuteronomy 1:30) Lord, You go before me and fight for me. Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit to ‘hold my peace,’ for “The Lord will fight for” me. (Exodus 14:14) Continue reading “Prayer: Help My Unbelief” →

Prayer: The LORD Hears My Cry of Distress

“When the waves of death surrounded me,
The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry entered His ears.”
2 Samuel 22:5-7

Prayer: The LORD Hears My Cry of Distress

         Lord, it feels like waves of death are surrounding me: physical pain, emotional turmoil, mental stress, chaos, helping kids navigate distance learning, trying to do full time work from home, taking care of the house, witnessing to a neighbor, navigating COVID (“waves of death surround”), lack of time and apparent ability, I am not managing us well in the time such as this. Help Lord!  

         Lord, I am in distress, so I call upon You, LORD my GOD, Maker of Heaven and Earth. I cry out to You, Christ Jesus Who won the war. My GOD, You hear my voice from Your holy temple. My cry enters Your ears. In You I put my trust!
