Father God,

Today, I pray for those who are so weary that they struggle with words, even thoughts to pray. I pray for those who feel in free fall over a cliff who ask what now can preserve them. I pray for those whose struggles are so profound that their numbness extends into their mind and soul leaving them unable to process.

I pray that though their resources and their strength fails them, though the world around them fails them, You, the I am, Yahweh, God Almighty, would deliver them from the hand of the Destroyer who seeks their destruction. Lord God Almighty, answer the prayers of the broken hearted, the broken bodied, those left bound up in their struggle to hold on to hope.

Strike down the Destroyer. Cut off His hand, his fingers that touch the lives of Your Children. Let the sun rise again and bring life that conquers death in all its forms.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen
