Remove The Barriers

Dear God,

Things get in the way
for moving ahead.
Help us to move the rocks that
block our way to new frontiers.

Remove the barriers that keep us from
health and happiness for the holidays.
Help us to regain hope, courage,
faith, strength, and healing.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Rekindle Our Spirits

Dear God,

Some of us feel cast aside.
Remind us how much You care.

Some of us feel stepped on.
Remind us of Your protection.

In the middle of a blah world.
Rekindle our spirits.

When we hurt so much,
Remind us You are ready to heal.

Give us hope today.
Remind us that You are still in control.

Thanks God.
Amen.

When The Rope Of Grief Uncoils

Dear God,

When the rope of grief uncoils
a hill of tears,
Give us comfort and calm.

When the news of today
depresses us,
Give us hope and happiness.

When our families are dragged down
by the struggle to get by,
Give us faith and love.

But most of all may we feel
Your presence right now.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Life In A Pinch

Dear God,

As we struggle with all that is
happening in our world,
Some days we feel like a crab waiting
to pinch everyone we meet.

When life provides a
painful pinch,
Place us within
Your reach.

Remind us of Your gentle touch
when times are tough.
Fill us with compassion as we
move to new frontiers.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Focus

Dear God,

Provide Your gentle showers
of blessing today.

May the color of our lives be
filled with health and healing.

Help us to focus on the
important things;

Rather than just wrestling with
the things marked urgent.

Thanks God.
Amen.

When Life Rushes By...

When we feel fragile,
Remind us You are the Rock.

When life rushes by,
Keep us safe.

When fear overwhelms us,
Give us peace.

When illness threatens us,
Keep us calm.

Thanks God.
Amen.

When We Feel Like We're Coming Apart

Dear God,

When we feel rusty and broken,
Weld us together.

When troubles overwhelm us,
Make us stronger than a steel corner.

When we feel like we are coming apart,
Bolt us back in place.

Ease our pains.
Calm our fears.

Thank God.
Amen.

Mountains Too Big To Climb

Dear God,

When everything around us looks
stark and bleak,
Remind us that You have provided
a place of safety.

When the challenges we face seem
like mountains too big to climb,
Remind us we are not alone and
You will carry us past our troubles.

When we are surrounded by uncertainty,
and things seem out of control,
Remind us to trust in God;
His promises are certain.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Thanks for Compassionate Caregivers

Dear God,

I thank You for compassionate caregivers.
They are like pitchers who fill others cups.

They fill others
with care and compassion,
with hope and healing,
with faith and freedom from fear.

Bless our caregivers with
strength, courage, and skill,
as they fill others today.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Help us to get our heads
together and decide the
best way to go.

Guide our world.

We need Your help. So
much of what we face is
bigger than we can handle.

Thanks for hearing our prayers.
Amen.
