Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 1/5

Overwhelmed by Carolyn LeGrand

When there's too much going on,
   give me your peace, Lord...

When I'm feeling overwhelmed,
   come lift me up...

When things move much too fast,
   then slow me down, Lord...

When I think I just won't make it,
   give me hope...

When I don't know where to turn,
   show me the way...

When I'm totally confused,
   give me your wisdom...

When I'm locked inside my fear,
   come set me free...

When I hurt inside and out
   touch me with healing...

When I wonder where you are,
   show me your face, Lord...

When I cannot find an answer,
   speak your truth...

When I don't know what to pray,
   send me your Spirit...

When I'm feeling all alone,
   stay by my side...

When I'm tired and worn out,
   refresh my strength, Lord...

And when I cannot fall asleep,
   send me sweet dreams...

Amen.

  1. Interesting that the picture of being overwhelmed is the same position that Muslims use during prayer, when asking God for their needs. Nicely reinforces the concept of going to God when overwhelmed. Suspect it was not intentional.

    Happy New Year!

  2. Not intentional - I'm grateful for your observation!
