#109 A Prayer for Today

O God,
right now I am feeling anxious and afraid.
These challenges are too daunting.
I don't know quite what to do next.
I ask for the help to calm down,
to do my best,
with you beside me and within me.

Keep me in the hollow of your hand.
When I am tossed to and fro
with the winds of adversity,
and the blasts of sickness and misunderstanding;
still my racing heart,
quiet my troubled mind.

Almighty God,
you know our needs before we ask
and our ignorance in asking;
have compassion on our weakness,
and give us those things
which, for our unworthiness,
we dare not,
and for our blindness,
we cannot ask.

this day and always,
Amen.
