Lord take the agony that I am in
and give me your sweet relief,
so that I can be your unhindered servant
leading those who are in pain
into your arms for comfort.
God take this deep rooted fear and
replace it with divine courage,
so those who are afraid will see
that my boldness lies in you
and with trust become closer to your Son.
Lord give me certain assurance,
although you know my uncertainty,
so I can with confidence
tell others of your unending love
and they will look only to you for their needs.
God restore strength to me
when I am exhausted unable to move,
so when others who are tired look at me
they will see your energy in my body
and they will look to you for rest.
Lord let me show the brightness
and the hope that is in You.
Even when hopelessness fills my soul,
let others know the light is yours
so they will depend only on your word.
God I am relentlessly tormented
by the oppressing darkness of the devil.
Give me peace and protection,
so when others see your love for me
they will know they are not alone.
Thank you Father for these gifts.
You say I only need to ask.
Let them bring glory to your name
so that others can pass them on
and to this prayer add their Amen.
