God of hope,
When I am afraid or overwhelmed, fill me with peace.
When I am frustrated or impatient, fill me with empathy and compassion.
When I am discouraged or worried, fill me with courage.
Show me how best to deal with the challenges these situations bring.
Teach me to live your love even when it is terribly difficult.
Help me, for I have never faced these challenges before.
Remind me that you are with me, now and always, surrounding me with love and care.
Amen.
Weekly Prayer: March 16
