Day 9 - March 14, 2014

In Difficult Times

Consoling God,
be a source of serenity for me
when struggles and difficulties
threaten to overwhelm me.

God of hope
assure me of your unconditional love
when I doubt myself
or question the worth of my life.

Truth-bringing God,
encourage me to embrace you
during those times when I get lost
in the lies of my weakness.

Compassionate God
hold me to your heart
when I feel helpless
in the face of the world's pain.

Light-filled God,
keep me ever close to you
during those moments
when bleakness surrounds my life.

Comforting God,
shelter me under your wings
when I am engulfed in sadness
and overcome with distress.

God of peace,
you are the center of my life,
a strong refuge of peace
in the whirlwind of my pain.
I look to you for strength
and a constant assurance of hope.                        
                                                               Joyce Rupp


Please pray this through twice, once thinking very personally and then on behalf of those who agonize over the fate of loved ones aboard the plane.
