October Prayer By Tynea Lewis
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for the people whose faith is being shaken. Lord, they are exhausted by the trial they are facing, and it often feels like it’s too much to handle. It seems like their world is crashing down around them, and they have more questions than answers.

You feel so far from them. Lord, they cry out time and time again, and it feels like you are silent. Remind them that you are near. Remind them that you haven’t forgotten about them in this time of need. You are with them in the fire. You are with them, even though it feels like their world is caving in. What they are facing is so much bigger than themselves, and they don’t have the strength to do it on their own. Lord, it’s so easy to try to rely on our own strength. We do it time and time again. We ask for your forgiveness. We can’t do it on our own, and we’re so sorry for trying. Our hope and refuge can only be found in you. Lord, living in a broken world is exhausting and discouraging. There are always things that are going wrong. There are always disappointments. There is always going to be brokenness. Lord, help us keep our eyes focused on you, and remind us that this world is not our home. We will never find what we’re looking for when we try to find it in this world. Our only peace can come from you. Thank you for being with us wherever we go and through whatever we face. Thank you for your love and goodness. Thank you for caring for us in the middle of our brokenness. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
