That's why I come
before you today and I pray with all my heart: show me the way out of this
labyrinth, don't let go of my hand, so that even if I walk through a dark
tunnel, I can still feel the warm touch of your hand guiding me. You are the
light that gave light to my eyes, the love that gave love to my soul. In you I
lack nothing, in you nothing can harm me, in you my victory is complete. Bring
me to you and keep me by your heart.
Father, I know I am
weak. My weakness is my pain and my torment. I can feel it every day, it's like
a poison coming from inside and I am so weary of fighting it. But I am yours
and that is my only consolation, the thought that gives me rest and strength to
carry on. I am yours and to you I pray: Father, take care of what is yours.
Take this burden off my shoulders, don't let me carry it alone.
I have put my soul
in your hands, keep it safe. Release me from the grip of my own mind, protect
me from my own destructive thoughts. I cannot do it without your help. You have
walked this way of thorns yourself and you have carried the cross until the end.
Help me do the same and never forsake me. You alone know what lies ahead.
Remain in me, so that I can overcome the world and taste the joy you have
prepared for your beloved.
In the name of our
beloved Jesus Christ.
AMEN
