God, I don’t have a job.
Help me to have faith for a good future and
To be patient with myself as I grieve losing the future, I thought I was going to have.\u00a0
Remind me that you have all kinds of work in this world and my gifts are needed.
Help me to see that all life’s experiences have lessons they can teach.
When I am discouraged, lift me up.
Remind me to reach out to others who might help.<\/em>
\u00a0
God, I’m having some low moments now.\u00a0
Moments when I don’t see the point,
Where I feel overwhelmed
And life feels very dark. <\/em>
Help me to believe in life’s dawn.
Teach me to get back up each time I am knocked down,
To steady myself after each misstep.
I may need to try many paths before discovering one that leads to the next chapter in my life journey.
Make me brave enough to ignore my doubts and shake off disappointments along the way.
I shall come to talk to you when I feel ready to give up to ask again for renewed strength.
Help me to believe, not just in you, but in myself and the gifts you gave me.
I’m going to be quiet now in case there is anything you’d like to tell me. Thanks.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
