Prayer & Praise

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Merciful Father, You know how difficult these days are for me.

In Your holy Word You have promised to hear those who cry unto You in the day of trouble.

Listen to my cries for mercy and send me help from the sanctuary of Your grace.

Preserve me from bitterness of spirit and rescue me from every temptation to despair.

Calm my frustration with the knowledge that my life is secure in Your redeeming love, for I am baptized into the death and resurrection of Your Son.

Draw me out of self-centered worry, which stifles faith, and cause me to take comfort in the great and precious promises that You have made to me and all believers in the Gospel.

Sustain and strengthen me under every cross and affliction, that Your grace might be made perfect in my weakness.

Give me confidence to pray without losing heart and to trust in Your mighty deliverance according to Your good and gracious will.

Father, into Your hands I commend myself. Hear me, for the sake of Your Son, who alone is my Brother and Savior.

Amen

    Could use some prayer if anyone has time in the next few weeks.
    Big project I’m leading at work cumulates into a event on October 1st.
    That same week, it’s likely my mom will undergo a major operation for a non-cancerous tumor in her pancreas (maybe two rumors. They can’t say yet)
    My brother and aunt will be here with her, but I will not be able to get away from my project to be there.
    So my stress levels are pretty dang high on both fronts.
    Could use so prayer that I hold it together at work enough to get though this project in a professional enough manner to be able to focus and lead us through it.
    Also, that my mom comes through the procedure well
