Prayer Corner
Through All My Doubts & Uncertainties
O God, my Father and my Creator, Lord Jesus, my savior and the source of my strength:
I pray for your blessing that I may be a channel of your grace and love.
Your presence has always been with me.
When I was a child, I did not know you, but your love gave me joy and gladness.
When, like a small boat, I ventured upon the stormy seas of growing up,
You were there, steadfast like a lighthouse,
guiding me safely along the shore.
You shone your divine light into my heart.
I heard your voice calling me,
But, at first, I resisted. God, you never gave up.
Your grace poured into me,
Too strong and powerful for me to ignore.
So here I am Lord, a young man, a son of your creation.
Here I am, unsure of where my life is going or
how I shall live it.
What further journeys shall I embark upon?
With my father and my mother, you
honored me.
Help me to always cherish the relationship we
share.
Thank you for my great friends with whom I
laugh, study, and play.
Even with our differences, we seek you together.
Through all my doubts and uncertainties, you have been by my side.
You are my friend who lifts me up when I am down, who rejoices in my wholeness,
And who leads me along the path of Christ.
You celebrate me for the man I have grown to be.
Give me your blessing that I may serve and lover others as much as you love me.
