O God,
Like the man possessed by a crowd of demons,
there are times I face more difficulties than I can manage.
When I am overwhelmed and struggling, calm my fears.
Help me to see beyond situations that engulf me.
Show me your presence and potential for new life you promise.
Help me to trust in your love and transformation.
Show me how I can find hope in change you bring.
Help me to rely on you.
Heal me and return me to a full and joyful life.
Amen.
