Pause for Prayer: WEDNESDAY 10/2

Lord,

when I'm sinking,
when I feel like I'm drowning….

drowning in my work and responsibilities,
in a whirlpool of my burdens,

my anxieties and fears,

my worries, doubts and troubles…

sinking deeper and deeper 
in loss, loneliness and grief,

in my passions, confusion 
and foolishness,

in my failures and mistakes,

in my sorrows and my hopelessness...

when I feel like I'm drowning, Lord,

remind me that you're always there:

that you see me in the depths,

that you reach down and take my hand

to draw me up and out

until I break the surface

and your Spirit breathes in me

until I inhale again the hope

to live another day...

remind me, Lord, 

that you walk the waters of my life

and will not let me perish:

that you rescue me and pull me

from the depths when I am sinking,

that you save me from the waters,
that you save me from myself...

remind me, Lord, 
that you'll never forget me,
never abandon me,

never let me slip beyond your grasp

but that your hand will hold me fast

and pull me free of danger

'til I rest, secure and safe, 

in you, my Lord, my Savior...

Amen.
