Carlisle Wall, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1853 My Father,
Thank You for all of my blessings, each and every day. Please watch over all of us who love You, all over this wide earth. We struggle, but for Your help every minute of every day. Help us to see that You are always there, right in our hearts, right by our side.
Something has happened that has really shaken up my heart. I am very confused and unable to rest peacefully now. I know that to lean on Your Son, Jesus, is the best that I can do in every situation.
Please LORD, keep me from harm. Keep me from the harm that others intend to cause. Please also keep me from the harm that I unknowingly cause to myself. You know my past, that I was pulled most traumatically from the arms of love as a very young man. You know that I have been unsuccessful finding it ever since. Now, a glimmer of opportunity has come into my life, but this may represent a false proclamation. I am torn and shaken by the experience, for I simply do not know which way to turn.
I ask You today, to give me patience and understanding, and the ability to step outside of myself. I wish to lean upon You. I need help with patience, so that I may wait for the proper unfolding. Please help me to avoid the knee-jerk reaction and headlong rush to destruction. Please bring me the wisdom to discern honesty. Please guide and protect my every step. Oh Father, Keep Me from Harm!
I have great faith that Your Will is Divine. I know in my heart that it will be done.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
