In Challenging Times

Lord Jesus, When I come to You in prayer, Pleading because the time seems long, Please be with me for the distance, And help me bear the pace.

When I am burdened or suffering And need to lean on You, If not strength, then in my weakness, Give me humility and grace.

When I fail to understand Obstacles appearing in my way, Help me not to miss the markers Leading to a better place.
 

When I feel weary from trying, Becoming discouraged or afraid, Inspire me, guide me, and hold me In Your loving embrace.

Amen.
