A prayer to find answers

Dear Lord God Jehovah,
I’m having a heavy heart kind of day.
I’ve been remembering sad things,
things that make me feel disappointed and hopeless.
I want to crawl into a corner and shut out life.
That’s where You come in.
You’ve showed up many times during my life when the joy of living has vanished and memories haunt.
And You feel what I feel, at the moment when I feel it.
Even though I feel alone, You are with me.
I must remember who You are and what You
do–
what You have always done for me.
You fill me with unexplainable comfort.
You cradle my heart with warm hands and soothe the heavy space inside that hurts.
You’re the reason I pray.
I don’t pray because I want answers.
I pray because You are the only Answer.
Thank you for doing Your work in me,
through pain, through confusion, and through thanksgiving.
Thank You for the memories of You.
Amen.
