Suffering seems to eagerly eat at the edges of life until people are worn down with sadness and despair.
Even though I do not understand the reasons for suffering, I believe that you are a God of love, a God of compassion.
I pray that you will be with all those this day that are in pain, who suffer silently and alone, who feel abandoned and left by the side of life’s road.
Wrap your arms of grace around them, until they know they are safely held in your embrace.
And, I pray, that you will fill my heart with the same compassion, and give me eyes to see how I can lovingly be a part of their healing.
I ask this for the sake of your great love. Amen.

Your prayers always make me cry. They are so touching and reach so deep within my heart that tears just can't be held back. I pray this evening that God will help me to help my husband. He's lost his brother to cancer and is having a very terrible time letting go and even mourning. He seems to be stuck in anger and it's eating away at him badly. Dear God, please help me or help someone else to help him, just let your will be done. I don't know how to help him get through this pain and anger. My heart is filled with such sadness for him. You know the events that have taken place and you know the feeling that have come from those events. You know my husbands needs Lord and you know better than anyone how to help him through this. Be with him Lord, I'm failing miserably here. Amen.
