Prayers

Are you feeling desperate? Feel like you don’t have any more strength to combat difficulties in your life? Despair can be a powerful force, leading us to doubt God’s love and mercy and causing us to turn away from His life-giving light.

But we shouldn’t forget that God never leaves us alone in our pain and that with His grace, we can overcome even the deepest despair.

“To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.” (Isaiah 61:3)

Now, let’s pray together to ask for Lord’s mercy amid despair.
