Carry My Troubles Now, Father, As You Carry Me

Father, You tell me that trouble does not begin with me—that I am not broken in a way that cannot be fixed. Sometimes, I can struggle to believe this is true because my problems—my trouble—can feel overwhelming. You know what I am going through now. You know how I can take these problems I am facing and believe they exist because of some deficiency in me. Oh, Lord, take this belief from me.

Lord, You are the one who has me, holds me, loves me, and lifts me up when I am down. When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, You are with me. You watch over me. You protect me. You provide for all of my needs and give to me in abundance. With You, I do not need to worry. You love to be with me, and You are with me now. You never leave my side. Bear my troubles now, Father. Carry them, will You, as You carry me? I need You now.

Thank You: You are the healer. Thank You: You are the restorer. Thank You: You are the provider.

I choose You. I choose your healing. I choose your new life. I choose your love. I desire You more than anything. Gather me up now, Lord. I have all I need in You. Amen.

Friend, what part of this prayer is your heart needing now?
