A Prayer For Keeping Focus In Chaos

Precious Lord Jesus, Wonderful God, Empowering Holy Spirit…
O Lord Jesus, let me not stray away from you when others fall away.
When chaos reigns in the world and in the hearts of others, let me keep my head.
In my weakness, show me your strength.
In my fear, show me your encouragement.
When hardship comes into my life, give me signs and wonders of your love.
When I would run to hide for fear of persecution, pour out your power over me so I will stand the test.
In pain and sorrow, set my feet upon your path, regardless of the discomfort I am in.
In the darkest storms, do not let me slip away into the deep water.
When I feel alone and cannot find your voice, touch my heart so I may hear you again.
When I have lost my voice to give your message of love to the world, inspire me to push ahead even in my silence.
When resources have run out and I am faced with choices I do not want to make, give me your wisdom and creative power so I may cope.
When I am boxed in and see no way out, turn my thoughts to you hanging upon the Cross.
Remind me that no suffering is too great for me to bear with you at my side.
Remind me that every soul needs you and that through you I can, in a small way, touch one soul today.
All these things I humbly pray, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
