M E D I T A T I V E P R A Y E RMost Gracious and Heavenly Father, I am so thankful for the many blessings you have given me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to come into your presence at this very moment. I come with a troubled heart in need of the comfort that only you can give. The storm is raging in my life right now, and the person I knew myself to be seems like a distant memory. I feel lost in a vast ocean of unfamiliarity and doubt, and the confidence I once had is sinking further into the abyss. In the grips of loneliness my soul cries out to be comforted by my loved ones. The flesh whispers to my suffering heart that the touch of a human hand is all I need, but my wounds are deep and no person or thing can heal them. The pain of my soul requires a spiritual touch. So I’m reaching out to you, Father, in the only way that I know how. Deep down I know the question isn’t “why am I in the ocean of despair”, but “can I find a way to navigate through the waters even when they are raging….Can I swim even when there is great pain?” Guide me through uncharted waters with your love. Father, grant to me a clearer vision so that I can see amidst the fog. I cast my cares completely to you. I give you my fear, my hurt, my anger, my ambivalence, my pain, my suffering. Rescue me from everything that keeps me from feeling whole and complete, and plant my feet upon dry land. The fiery darts of evil seek to corrupt my soul, steal my joy, and control my destiny, but you are my rescue. You are my burden-bearer, my fortress, my sustainer, my comforter, my all and all. I humble myself before you, and I utterly surrender to your will, now and ever more. Let me come before your throne striped of everything, realizing that my body is but dust, and my spirit is birthed from all that you are. Teach me to be pliable to your will so that I am molded in the image of Christ, and help me to grow and flourish. Encompass me with your mercy. Anchor me with an anointing of wisdom and strength, and let me float towards healing, restoration, and renewal. Thank you for hearing my prayer, Dear Lord; for never leaving me, and for guiding and protecting me every step of the way. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
