Dearest Lord,
Please fill me up with your presence. My heart is breaking and I can see nothing through the tears. I know you are in control of everything. I know you have a good and perfect plan for my life. I know that if I must hurt and be unhappy now, it means not only was this situation not right for me, but also that I am closer to finding the true blessing that you have in mind for me. Though my nights are empty and my mornings are lifeless, remind me that truly they are not. Remind me that these are just feelings and not reality. Help me believe there are those out in this world who are worthy and true and good, remind me that I am one of them and that there is nothing wrong with me. Help me to learn from the situations you place in my life. Help me to be grateful that you thought me ready to learn these lessons. Thank you for the people you've sent in my life yesterday who have given me hugs, kind words of sympathy, and reassurances that direct my attentions back to you. Help me see how I have grown and changed. Keep me from anger, bitterness, and hopelessness. Keep me believing in love, faith, and most of all keep me believe in me.
Help me find a happy thought today, comfort my heart, and please, dear Lord, dry away my quiet, hurting tears.
"He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:29-31
"To You, O LORD, I called, and to the Lord I made supplication: What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper.
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever."
