Prayer in Uncertainty
Oh, Lord God, you alone are my hope. I place my confidence in you. My present state is uncertain, and this uncertainty weighs upon me. I look for words of encouragement, but I fear news I do not wish to hear.
May your presence in my heart take away all tension and mistrust. Anxiety is part of everyone’s life, and now I must cope with my share. Lord, it is not easy to spend minutes, hours, even days not knowing the outcome.
Come to me, I beg of you and reassure me again of your love. When I am uneasy, I view life with a limited vision. May the light of faith help me to see more clearly and trust in you. Amen
