One of the benefits of prayer is its ability to enrich our spiritual lives. Prayer allows us to communicate with a higher power, and brings about a sense of peace and comfort. It also helps us to focus on what truly matters in life and improve self-reflection.
Dear Lord,
During times of worry and strife, I look for things that I can touch and see. I want to know that there is proof I will feel better, and yet I feel and see nothing.
I look for signs that everything will be okay, and nothing is offered to me.
What I now know I lack is any spiritual growth. That feeling within me that everything is for a reason, which I now know I need to instil myself.
Thank you for being with me when I sleep and am at my most vulnerable. Please change my power of thought with your presence and give me a reason to start anew.
Guide me to meditation so that I can reach you and the angels you send to watch over me.
Light my path so I can see the direction I am going in this uncertain time.
In your name I pray, Lord.
Amen.
