Lord,
I don’t know the truth of my circumstances until and unless you tell me.
My heart is darkened often to my own self. There’s no hope I could understand another heart than mine any better.
Yet sometimes I am called to try while I live this life in community with those You sent me. Show me how, Lord.
I am desperately lost without an idea of what comes next. I have no hope for solution and no prayer of resolution, except for You.
There seems to my eyes to be no way out of or through these problems. And yet, I know a God Who Saves! I know a Living Redeemer!
Redeem us, Lord, individually, and as a family! Bring us to You, and bring us through this, Lord!
I know that only You can see a way to do that, and I know that You have done it for us before. I praise Your name, Lord! You are Mighty! You are Merciful! You are Loving! Let us be those things as well.
And, Lord, let us cling to You until we can see the way forward again! May we not move our feet into we know the very right thing to do to be on the path You would call us down! Let us do just what You would have us do to take care of these little ones the way You would have us do that.
May we still ourselves in the midst of all pain and commotion, until You say move!
In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen!
