Dear Lord,

In times like these I have to come to You
We have to come to You again
crying out for Your mercy to extend
for Your grace to guard
and Your love to protect
from discouragement
from disbelief
from losing faith in You
and losing sight of You

You promised that You would not tempt us beyond what we cannot bear
may You hold true Your promises

Do not leave us in devastation and hopelessness
But to continue to look to You for hope and our future
For the hope of salvation for our loved ones
For the hope that surely You have a future for us
For the hope that we will not only experience Your healing in heaven
but also here and now
we want to be complete in You here and now
we want to experience miracles that draw us closer to You here and now
enlarge our faith so we would see Your promises fulfilled in our lives

we can only look to You for there's no one else who would be able to help us any better
we can only cry out to You for You see every tear flown out of our hearts
You know and You understand
Give us hope, give us trust, give us faith, give us light

prayer for the broken hearted

dear God,

i entrust them into Your hands
You know how hard and the pains that they are going thru
the false accusations, words that stab into the heart
because they are from those they love, treasure, and cherish
besides You, there's none other who can help them
only You can resolve whatever pain and hurt they are facing
You know of the problems in their past
the pains from their families or society

O Lord, tear down the strongholds of the evil one
tear down the strongholds of their lives from sin, burdens, hurt, pain
free them so they can soar upon Your promises and Your Truths

take them into Your care
help us not to worry as You commanded
for Your hands are strong
Your arms embrace and will not let them go

Hold them Lord, hold them...
Watch over them
Protect them
by Your power, by Your blood

Amen
