Father,
I’ve just heard those dreaded words that I’ve prayed not to hear. My spirit is shattered.
May world is falling apart.
I want to fight, to rebel, to flee from the reality of this, yet I know that You are there.
No matter how angry, deserted, disappointed I feel, Your love will never let me go. You will provide Your sustaining courage regardless of the future. Please grant me and my loved ones courage for whatever lies ahead. Help me to remember that You do understand everything about me, and want me to come to You laying all my burdens at Your feet.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

And He said unto me. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

II Corinthians 12:9
