Lord, attend to my sighing—do You hear me? I have so much weighing on my heart.
This {day/event/broken relationship} doesn’t make sense. Injustices in the world, unfairness in our family experiences, confusing and distressing situations that strain our relationships—none of it makes sense.
I try to do Your will, and my loved ones strive to do what we have learned from You, but still we struggle. Will You be our peace? Be with us.
“Lord, listen to my groaning” (Psalm 5).
Jesus, King of my heart, hear my prayer. I am worn down.
Do you hear me? I sigh with exhaustion and grief. Come, Jesus, make haste to help me. I need You.
Lord, attend to my sighing.
Over and over I plead with You. At times I prayed on my knees. Lord, today again my soul cries out to You. I wait for Your answer, for Your help.
Jesus, turn Your ear towards my plea.
My weary heart is restless. My mind wanders. It is You who I seek. You alone are all that I need.
You are goodness and truth. Jesus, thank You for all that is good in my life. I trust in Your promise because I know You have been my rock and refuge in the past.
Come, Lord Jesus. Be with me now. While I wait for Your clear answer, be present to me. In Your presence is my rest and fullness of joy.
Jesus, attend to my sighing.
Be with us. // Gina Fensterer Click To Tweet
Boy does this ever speak to everything that has been bottled up in my heart these past few months of an unexpected move after 20 years, COVID-19, disgruntled family members, dad with dementia, not being able to see my family since January due to quarantine, a disintegration of a 20 year friendship. Sigh Lord, Groan Jesus. Help me. This has been my constant prayer. Save me Jesus. I need you Jesus. Come Holy Spirit give me Comfort, Give me Wisdom. How should I proceed? Help me heal. I am waiting on you Lord. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for your promises. Thank you for forgiveness. Thank you for your unending love to mess that is me.
Praying for you right now Laura. <3
