Prayer for the Contrite

Father,

Hold me now as the night draws cold and things that seemed like a reason to be happy about seems to fade into the winter's chill. But I am hopeful, not in the possible turn of the situation but because You shed light to my eyes and show yourself to me.

From pain comes the peace of knowing one thin and that thing is that you still stand in control with everything and it is the reason for me to smile through the miry pain that does not seem like its going to stay long.

Most of all, is the revelation that brings truth to my heart and holding on to that truth is beginning to set me free from the bondage that have long kept me under the shadows of the blues.

So hold me in Your arms and remind me through this night that Your goodness reign still in this crazy life of mine...

Amen
