DESPAIR

Almighty Lord God of all the universe
please bring consolation and peace of mind
to those who, at this moment,
in the despond of depression
despairs of ever finding peace and happiness.

God of All those who live
in the shadows of anguish
please lift the dark burdens
from their hearts and give them back
the hope and happiness, the love
and confidence and joy, which once they felt.

Looking down from heaven,
You see into our darkest hearts.
Please give special courage and the strength of renewal to those whose worries
feel too heavy to carry,
and whose sadness and desolation
seems too deep to escape.

Please shine a bright new light of hope
into their hearts,
dear God of Peace and Confidence.

Lead them on bright new pathways
where their spirits may be revived,
so that they may rejoice in You
the God of all heavenly exultation
and rapture.

This is my earnest prayer to You,
Lord of the Universe and Savior of us all.

Amen.
