I am sorry, I just do not see God's ...

[Dotty]

Your manna come down that brings, hope and joy, peace and love, that fills us with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us. Father, help us to see the lost as ones you love also. Help us to show forth your love to them. I'm still praying for you Eugene. Have faith. God is hearing us and answering our prayers.

Heavenly Father, I know I am close to despair. I feel so tempted to give up, to withdraw from life and my relationship with you and let the world simply carry me along. Everything seems so meaningless and nothing appeals to my better instincts.

Help me to remember that Jesus gave meaning to everything in the world.

Let me bank on that fact and get over this time of despair, to really believe in the depths of my being that there is a reason for living. Show me the reason for my life and tell me what I must do.

Bring beauty to my ashes. Bring hope and faith where there is none. Bring home to me that I am never alone, but that You are with me even in the depths of despair. Remind me that no matter what I may endure now, an unending joy awaits me in the future if I but cling tightly to You and your Son Jesus in the unity of the Spirit. Amen
