A Prayer When in Crisis

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him.—Nahum 1:7
God, I feel lost and overwhelmed.
The world seems out of control.
Life has become a nightmare.
Please help me remember that
You made this world and declared it good.
Give me the comfort of Your presence
and the confidence to trust You
even when nothing seems to change.
Calm my mind, bring peace to my heart  and
strengthen my spirit to carry on in the midst of loss.
Lay a path for me, and help me follow
Your way as I move
forward. Amen.
