Finding Jesus in the Storm: A Devotional for Those Living With Psychosis and SchizophreniaSample

A Prayer for Those Who Cannot Pray

God of the lost and the breaking,

God of the unheard and unseen,

I do not have words today.

I do not have clarity.

I do not have strength.

Be the strength I do not have.

Be the voice I cannot find.

Be the hope I cannot hold.

Gather up all my scattered thoughts.

Gather up all my fear.

Gather up all that feels fragile,

and hold it in your hands.

Let the prayers of others carry me.

Let their faith shelter me.

Let their love surround me.

And if I can do no more today

than be here —

then let it be enough

to be here with you.

You are God —

not because I can feel you,

not because I can understand you,

but because you will not let me go.

Stay close.

Stay near.

Stay with me

until I can pray again.
