Be with me Lord.

Be the patience when I’m frustrated.

Be the endurance when I am tired.

Be the wisdom when I am uncertain.

Be the inspiration when I am out of ideas.

Be the peacemaker when I feel hurt.

Be the comforter when I feel overwhelmed.

Be the energy when I am weary.

Be the guide when I am confused.

Be the forgiven when I get it wrong.

Be with me Lord, today.
