Lord,

Throughout my life’s journey, there is no doubt that you have had my back. In ways unnoticed as well as noticed, I have experienced your blessings beyond my imagination for which I am eternally grateful. But, Lord, sometimes life just doesn’t make any sense. And it is during these times my faith fails me.

Don't get me wrong, Lord, when my faith seems to fail, it’s not that I believe in you less. Rather, I question why I have to endure what I do, specially when there seems to be no escape or relief with what is going on in my life. I mean, I’m only human and my shoulders can only hold so much. For weeks now I've been putting my situation into your hands, but it feels as though you are ignoring my pleas for help.

With what I am encountering at this time, no matter how I try and make it right it’s just not happening.  The ongoing issues is weighing me down to the point where I just can’t make any sense of it anymore. It’s also making it impossible for me to move forward to undertake the next step necessary that will allow my life to feel less threatening and less unmanageable. Honestly, with out your help, if I can’t turn this around, it scares me as to the inevitable effect it will have on me. I feel as if I’m drowning mentally and emotionally, and it is in these moments my faith takes a plunging nose dive.

I know that I am to continually look to you and exercise my faith in you on a daily basis. But, Lord, I’m not strong enough to try and find light at the end of this tunnel. Thus, there is no question that I’m in need of divine intervention which only you can provide. There is no one to whom I can turn that can rescue me from ending in failure. So, I have to fully depend on you alone to help lift this cross from my shoulders, because I’ve been stumbling throughout this process but now I’m falling under its pressure.

All I can say, Lord, is that I reach out to you … help me to move this mountain so I can find peace and move forward.

Amen
