Life is particularly hard at the moment. 

I am feeling afraid and alone.
I am hanging on to my faith by my fingertips.
The world is not a friendly place.

I am struggling.

 

 

This problem I face, (list problem here)___________
Causes me great fear, sadness and grief.

I bring it to your table and drop it at your feet like A package that is too heavy for me to bear. 

 

I know that You are always with me.
I know that You do not send me more than I can handle.
I know that through each challenge I face, I learn a valuable life lesson.
I know all this, but at this moment I don't care, God!!
I need to feel Your comfort now for I am so low down.

 

(Read slowly)
Please send me strength and courage and release me from this place of fear.
Bring me peace within my soul,
Bring me hope within my heart
Bring me relief from this heavy burden I bear.  

 
 
I repeat to myself,
"I am so comforted in my great love for Thee,
I am so comforted in my great love for Thee,
I am so comforted in my great love for Thee."
 

For although I am hanging on by my fingertips,
I am still hanging on because I have faith in You.
Faith that these feelings will pass.
Faith that You will help me weather this storm and all storms that come my way.

 
I hold on to this faith that I am loved by You.

If I cannot hold on to any other thoughts, I hold on tight to this: I am loved by You.
For tomorrow your light will shine on me, the dark clouds will pass, and I will be OK.
