Great and gracious Father,
It's precisely because we know you to be great and gracious that we cry out to You today without measuring words or muting feelings. Father, we are tired of being tired, worn out by being worn out, depressed by being depressed.
Hold us tightly, for we feel our grasp of You growing weaker and weaker. Will these sorrows ever lift? Will our hearts ever sing again?
You have written the gospel on our hearts, O God. May this truth keep us from despair. If not for this, the accuser and condemner would have long since erased all memory of Your goodness and faithfulness from our souls.
Though our consciences and emotions mock us, we rest in your promise that we belong to You and You belong to us.
Amen.
