ícone A prayer from someone who suffers
 

Lord, my God.

            Good Father, I seek Thee hoping that Thy love is capable of soothing me at this moment.

I seek Thy arms and the care of the One who knows me since forever and is well aware of the reasons for my pains and my despair.

            Father of justice and love, please wrap my sorrowful heart with Thy infinite affection, so that my disenchantment leaves me and I do not give up the fight.

            Protect me in Thy arms, assuring me that I will never be alone, even when silence is my only companion and the road of life seems deserted.

            Give me strength and the courage to move on, no matter how tough the difficulties are and how distant the people I love seem to be from my eyes.

            I ask Thee, Lord, for Thy words to echo in my intimacy, guiding my steps and healing the wounds that bleed in my soul.

Wounds caused by my carelessness, my egoism and lack of forgiveness.

            Wrap me in an affectionate embrace capable to stop these tears that insist on dropping from my eyes and wetting my face.

            I don't expect for this suffering I face to be simply taken away from my life.

I know that if I'm passing through it at this time, it is because I sowed it in the past.

            I only humbly ask, Lord, for me to stand it with dignity.

I ask Thee to help me stand up in these difficult moments, when I feel my knees giving up to the weight of tiredness and dejection.

            Don't allow, dear Father, sadness to meddle in my thoughts, preventing me from seeing clearly and believing in tomorrow.

Lord, don't let the remorse and regrets from my mistakes to become excuses for more deviation and bigger deceptions.

            Give me strength so that my will withstands? The difficulties that will make me a better person one day.

            Let passion be the device for progress and not reason for new mistakes.

            Help me, dear Lord, to walk the path of goodness, no matter how narrow its door is and how heavy its burden can be.

            Don't let revolt and despair fill my days and nights.

            Enlighten with Thy truth, Lord, my actions and my words.

            Because I feel very lost and lonely in this world of exile, where happiness is fleeting and short-lived.

Only the certainty of Thy constant presence in my existence can bring me the peace and comfort that my saddened spirit craves for.

Open my eyes for the eternal truths of life and give me the grace of trusting without hesitation or discouragement.

            Help me, good Father, in order for me to keep on going, so that I shall leave, once and for all, my past full of mistakes and build from now on a foundation of love and happiness for my future.

            When the tough challenges of life fill your heart with bitterness and pain, remember that the prayer is the most efficient way to connect with God.

            Remember that nothing or nobody can bring us more relief to our sufferings than the Divine Presence in our lives.

            God, our kind and just Father, never abandons us.

            You shall always trust and be persistent.
