Dear Father,
I come to you today overwhelmed by the responsibilities and
stresses of life. I want so badly to ask you to remove them so that I may find
comfort and peace.
Scripture says you love me. So, why do you let me hurt like
this?
As I read more of your word, I realize there is another
prayer I might offer instead. It would
go something like this:
Dear Father,
I come to you overwhelmed
by the responsibilities and stresses of life. Please strengthen me and teach me
so that I may, in turn, strengthen others who are struggling with similar
issues. By seeking strength in you and reaching out to help others, may I find
the comfort and peace only you can provide.
May the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! He is the compassionate Father and God of
all comfort. He’s the one who comforts us in all our trouble so that we can
comfort other people who are in every kind of trouble. We offer the same
comfort that we ourselves received from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
CEB
