prayer for strength and endurance

dear Lord,

it is with a humbled desperation do i come to You
seeking Your strength to be mine
for i have none of my own left
with the silences in life
expectations and desires not fulfilled by those around
so that Your fulfillment and satisfaction would come
fully satisfying, fully appreciated
of Your comfort, love, and hope

You have called me on this journey
to be faithful
to follow obediently
to trust You fully
because You are trust-worthy
You do not disappoint
You have ways in making everything well according to Your timing and plan

there are things in this world that I do not understand
things i have yet to see
people that i do not understand
there are too many uncertainties and uncontrolled elements
i would be too proud if i say i don't need You
i would be too stupid if i never asked for Your help

so i'm asking
for all contentment in You
for full submission to Your will
for wholly trust into Your plans for my life
for peace in falling into Your sovereignty

may my words and prayers ever be true
may my heart ever rest secure in You
