Lord, Hear My Prayer

Lord,

Sometimes I just do not get it. How can so much happen to one person? I believe in You, I have faith in You, and I know down deep in my soul that all good is from You. I know that You love them just as much as You love all of us, but I do not know if they will ever believe that. How could they with all that has happened.

I want to show them what Your love is. I want them to feel the comfort of Your loving arms. I want them to know that it is You who cries with them, and it is You who wipes away their tears. But I do not know if they will ever believe that. How could they with all that has happened?

I realize that it is not for me to know. I realize that I cannot see the big picture that You can see. But that does not help. It is hard to see it happen and to be helpless. That is why I am praying this prayer. I believe with You, I am not helpless. I pray for strength and endless love for us. I pray for comfort, a glimpse of light in the midst of great darkness, and a miraculous healing with a touch from Your hand for them. Lord, I believe. I know they can as well, even with all that has happened, because we are talking with You.

Guide us, strengthen us, and use us.

Amen.
