Prayers . . . on living successfully

 

PRAYER WHEN I'M FACED WITH 

CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL

 

 

Lord, I'm not used to this.  I don't know where to go or what to do.  I want to fix this, and I can't.

 

Thank you for the assurance that this situation doesn't knock you off your throne.  Your power is not diminished by my helplessness.  Your glory is not lessened by my human weakness.  I can trust you to act, even though I don't know what to ask you to do.

 

Somehow my heart is quieted when I concentrate on who you are:  Almighty, Compassionate, Sovereign, Beautiful, Deliverer, Excellent, Unchanging, Forgiving, Good, Holy, Living, Just, King Eternal, Merciful, Righteous, True, Wise, Friend.

 

Thank you for the grace to believe.  Thank you for the comfort that is mine when I leave this in your hands.  In Jesus' name.

 

Amen

For God is greater than our hearts,

and he knows everything.

 

1 John 3:20
