Pouring My Heart Out to You

Tonight has been an interesting night…not because there was a lot going on, but more so just kind of feeling helpless. Have you ever been in a situation where you have friends that are going through so much that you just wish you could drop everything and help them? But the reality of the matter is, there isn’t anything you can do for multiple reasons…either a) you are hundreds, even thousands of miles away, and b) its too big for you to even handle. I hate not being able to do anything to help because its my nature…heck that’s one of the reasons why I want to be a nurse…I love helping people. Sometimes you just have to sit back and give space to people, and just pray because sometimes that’s the best thing one can do…that’s the boat I’m in tonight.

Lord,
I’m not sure what to do or say…because there really isn’t anything I can do. My hands are tied and my heart is hurting but I know you are in control. Give me guidance in everything as I finish the rest of this night. I don’t know what to do Lord, but I know you are an awesome God who will never leave me, even when I feel alone, when I feel lost, when I feel as though life has no hope. Direct my paths so they would follow you all of my days Lord. You are my Father, and the one I will follow all of the days of my life, despite the good times and the bad that this life places before me. You are my Savior and you are the one who has sacrificed yourself for me. I am a sinner Lord, but you died for me that I may be free from the bondage of sin. That I would be able to live a life for you and know that the gift of salvation and forgiveness is always on the table. Help me to be filled with your spirit, especially when I am sad and may you fill me with Joy…a joy that can only come from you. Lord, you know my heart, my mind, soul, and spirit. Please uplift me and bring a smile back to my face tonight. Dry my tears and calm my heart. Hear my cry tonight as I pray to you. I love you…Amen
