Monday Morning Prayer

Today is a struggle, Lord.I confess that the aches and pains of life are taking a toll on my heart.I feel the fingers of futility clutching at my soul, and I am too tired to fight.But God (I love those two words), You are not too tired. You do not slumber or sleep, and You are an ever present help in trouble.I’m not sure I can run to You, but I am limping toward Your love to bury myself in Your bosom.Hide me, Rock of Ages.Hide me from desperation and darkness.Draw me into the light of Your glory.You are stronger –stronger than physical pain;stronger than hopelessness;stronger than fear;stronger than the enemies of my soul.Carry me today, Lord.Please carry me.I claim the Light of Your Presence and immeasurable grace of the cross.I claim the power of Your Resurrection.I claim You, Father,and I go in the strengthof Who You are.Because of Jesus,Amen!

Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
