Prayers . . . on living successfully

GOD, LIFT MY DEPRESSION

Help me, God.  I cry to you from this dark place.  Everything in my life is blackness, heaviness, sadness.  My joy in life is one, my hope for the future is gone.  I lay immobilized day after day, unable to move, to work, to function; unable to care for my family or myself.

Where are you, Lord?  Why don't you come and rescue me?  I cannot help myself.  I cannot even pray or hear your voice.  Lift me out of this deep pit.  I have tried to find my way out.  I've tried to cy my way out, to scream my way out.  I am exhausted.  Unless you help me, I am finished.

If this testing place is from you, Lord, teach me what it is you would have me learn.  Cover me with your mercy and your grace.  Help me, Father.  Provide the right doctor if that is the solution to this suffocating sorrow.

Send your answer, Lord.  Take me by my right hand and pull me to freedom.  Restore my life.  I'm trusting you to meet my need.

Amen

"For I am the LORD, your God, 

who takes hold of your right hand and says to you,

Do not fear, I will help you."

Isaiah 41:13
