A Prayer for My Life’s Journey
Dear Lord, I am very thankful for all the blessings you have showered upon me throughout the years. Thank you for being my ever constant Friend. Even when I lost my way, you have watched over me, pursued me, and patiently guided me back to you.
I don’t know what the future holds. Much of the world looks dark. And there are very few things I can hold on to.
Please hold my hand as I continue to walk with You in this journey called life. Let me not lose hope, but find everything that I need in Your merciful heart.
When I weep, O Lord, be my strength. When I am fearful, be my strong refuge.
Lead me each day until that day when I can finally say that I have lived life to the very full.
May I fulfill the purpose you have planned for me. And may all my days be filled with your unfailing mercies, incomparable beauty and everlasting love! Amen.
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7 (NRSVCE)

Do Our Prayers Really Help Other People?
Whenever a tragedy happens, we often hear people offer their prayers. Somehow, this thought that people are praying for us, should comfort us. It helps us to know that we are not alone. It creates an atmosphere of hope when all we could see otherwise is darkness.
