This prayer is for those times when it seems like you have been battling the same issue forever. It’s been going on for so long you begin wonder if there will ever be an end in sight. Because from where you stand the road seems to stretch unending.
I hope this prayer strengthens you to continue fighting whatever battles you are facing now.
Prayer
Father, it’s hard to always keep my eyes focused on you when my circumstances seem so overwhelming and unconquerable. It would be easy if I could just see a ray of light at the end of this dark tunnel. But all I see ahead of me is a long, unending road.
I am called to walk by faith. This means navigating through the unknown and placing my trust in you each step of the way. But each step seems to get harder and harder because this journey’s been long and I’m tired. I don’t understand why it’s taking so long and I can’t see beyond the struggle. But I know your ways are so much higher than mine. I know you see so much farther than I do.
Help me look beyond my circumstances and see through the eyes of faith. Because you’re still working even when things aren’t going my way and you didn’t stop working because I’m frustrated. Let me rest in the knowledge you have an answer even if I don’t. Help me remember I’m not a victim of circumstances but I am an overcomer because your power is at work in me.
Father, I don’t know when I’ll ever reach the other side of this battle but I’m going to trust you do know when that will be. I’m going to trust you will give me the strength to stand when I don’t feel it. I’m going to trust you are working everything for my good even when I don’t see it. Help me rest in the knowledge you have a reason and it’s not to harm me but to make me stronger. I pray you will give me the strength and patience to wait until the work you’re doing in me is completed. Until then I rest in the knowledge you are faithful and good and are able to do immensely more than I thought or imagined. Amen
