One of us must be the stronger one

Tough choices

The prayers of St. Ignatius always keep me sane.

O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength,
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your will through all things.

Amen

refuge

Lord I can't do this. I'm going crazy. I've just caught sight of the brink of sanity. Literally at the dead end of a dark road. I seek quiet but I can't find it. Looking for a person, looking for a place. And there is none but you. Saviour.

perspectives

I find myself stuck in a rut repeatedly.

I am unable to move forward or look back.

And I am tired.

But Lord you are sovereign over me.

You are a God who is with me.

I believe.

Help me to find my way.

Help me be faithful.

Thus far you have led me,

and I have oft stumbled through my own fault.

But Lord you are greater than these.

Far greater.
I don't really understand why I've been put here. But God is faithful. I trust you.
