Some of you are miscarrying, right now.
Some of you are grieving the anniversary of the death of a precious child in your life.
Some of you are struggling with undiagnosed physical pain that is baffling your doctors.
Some of you are coping with your husband’s recent death.
Some of you are depressed and afraid of what tomorrow might (or might not) bring.
So many of you are suffering, right now, and have asked for our prayers. Well, you’ve got them. Pastor Schuermann wrote this prayer for all of us to pray together today.
Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
– Psalm 25:6-7
Let us pray…
O God, from before the foundation of the world You knew me, loved me, and showed me mercy. As I struggle, Lord, give me strength. Remind me daily of Your everlasting love for me. Remind me that I am Your child, adopted into Your heavenly family by grace, for the sake of Jesus. Do not let this cross which You have laid on me overwhelm me. Because You know all things, I will trust You. Lord, have mercy. Amen.
