Prayer For Feeling Lost

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of thy Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me. Amen.

Dear God,

Thank you that you see us right where we are, in the midst of our pain and struggle, in the middle of our desert land. Thank you that you have not forgotten us and never will. Forgive us for not trusting you, for doubting your goodness, or not believing you're really there. We choose to set our eyes on you today. We choose joy and peace when the whispered lies come and say that we should have no joy or peace.

Thank you that you care for us and your love over us is so great. We confess our need for you. Fill us fresh with your Spirit, renew our hearts and minds in your truth. We ask for your hope and comfort to continue to heal our hearts where they've been broken. Give us the courage to face another day, knowing that with you before us and behind us, we have nothing to fear.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.

Dear God,
why do I keep fighting you off?
One part of me wants you desparately,
another part of me unknowingly
pushes you back and runs away.

What is there in me that
so contradicts my desire for you?
These transition days, these passage ways,
are calling me to let go of old securities,
to give myself over into your hands.

Like Jesus who struggled with the pain
I, too, fight the let it all be done.
Loneliness, lostness, non-belonging,
all these hurts strike out at me,
leaving me pained with this present goodbye.

I want to be more but I fight the growing.
I want to be new but I hang unto the old.
I want to live but I won't face the dying.
I want to be whole but cannot bear
to gather up the pieces into one.

Is it that I refuse to be out of control,
to let the tears take their humbling journey,
to allow my spirit to feel its depression,
to stay with the insecurity of no home?

Now is the time. You call to me,
begging me to let you have my life,
inviting me to taste the darkness
so I can be filled with the light,
allowing me to lose my direction
so that I will find my way home to you.

Dear heavenly Father,

I'm lost and confused. Where am I going?

I can't seem to find any direction. Will you show me the way oh, Lord?

Bring to me Father, clarity and purpose. Let me know the first step is knowing Christ as Savior, Redeemer and King.

The second step is knowing I am your beloved, forgiven child.

Then step by step, show me the Way, the Truth and the Life.

I go to the Father only through the Son.

Cleanse me, oh Lord. Set my path straight. Lay low the obstacles and fill the valleys.

Establish your order in my life.

Come to me, oh Lord. Bring me home again.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Dear Lord, you know where my heart is. I miss my husband and my marriage wishing I could change all I did and said. I feel like this is all my fault but I know we both took part in this. I pray that you humble us and help us figure out where our hearts are.

That you take away all the negatives tongues against our marriage. please lord help me find peace, tranquility among my broken heart and lost soul. I am asking for you to guide me take away my fears. I know I maybe walking without my partner and that kills me but please stand by me and make me feel Your presence.

I know your will be done at the end of the day but know that I am Sorry for everything and want my partner back; the one you created for me. Please speak with my husband send the hey spirit so that he can take away the anger and anguish he is feeling.

Lord I promise to serve you to my last days. I am your daughter and he is your son and hope we can all have your all Merciful love and spirit by us during these times. In your precious son's name, Jesus Chrisr. I pray. Amen.

Dear God,
I'm spiraling. I'm floating. I'm spinning. I'm losing sight of you and your love in my life. I keep trying to stay focused on the person I'm supposed to be, the person you've created me to be, but right now I just feel so lost.

I need your help.

I don't know when this all beganthe feeling of separation from you, the fear, the exhaustion, the struggle to just get out of bed in the morning, the hopelessness when it comes to my purpose, my place in the universe. I used to be so put together. I used to get up and feel like I was on top of the world. I used to exude confidence, self-assurance, security because I knew I was on the right track.

I used to feel your presence in my every movement; I was so determined, maybe even a little prideful because I felt like I was doing all I was supposed to be doing.

And now I'm just sitting here, staring out the window, wondering how to conjure up those feelings again, wondering if I'm too far gone for you to bring me back to you.

But that's silly isn't it? Silly for me to doubt in the moment I need you the most. Silly to think that for a second you'd abandon me, even though my existence is so small in the big scheme of things. Because you haven't. Because you won't.

You've been here for me, countless times before. Every moment I questioned your presence, you brought something into my life that showed me I was never alone. Every second I found myself slipping, you put your arms around me and pulled me back into your grace.

So why is it that now I'm doubting again?

God, I need a reminder of who I am and where I'm going. I need a reminder of who you are and have always been. I need a reminder of the powerful, loving Savior I serve and the incredible things He's forever doing in the lives of those who follow Him.
I know I'm being foolish, letting my human insecurities and fears cloud my mind. I know I'm being foolish, thinking that I'm so far away from your light I won't be able to find my way back. I know I'm being foolish, thinking that you don't love me or that I'm lost and will never be found.

It's just so hard when the rest of the world keeps spinningno matter what I try to do, I always feel three steps behind.

But you remind me that what the rest of the world is doing is not of my concern. I don't need to measure up, to fit, to be on track' by human standards; I need to be right where you want me to be. I am right where you want me to be. And I need to trust that you're in control, leading me through this season of doubt.

I need to trust that you are my God, and no matter what I'm feeling on the inside, no matter what's happening around me, no matter how hopeless or lost I feel, you're here with me. And you're not going anywhere.

So please calm my heart. Give me deep breaths and clear thoughts. When I start to worry, remind me of your word. When I start to question, show me answers and the will to keep moving, even if I feel at a standstill.

Bring me light when I'm in darkness and a path to follow when I feel like I'm wandering in circles. When doors close in front of me, give me new ones to open. When people walk away, give me courage to seek out relationships that both build me, and honor you.

When I don't know who I am anymore, tell me that I am yours.
And in this crazy world, that's all I want to be.
Please remind me, each time that I forget.

Amen.

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
