giving thanks when life is hard

Dear God,

My world and my life is a mess. I wake to deal with a lot of sorrow and pain.Yet you, O Lord, are precious in my sight. I am thankful for you and the people who are in my life. There is no one like you. Your love breaks me and your mercy encourages me every day.

Thank you for your constant presence and for guiding me through every step of my journey. I am grateful for the strength you provide in my weakness, the comfort you offer in sorrow, and the hope You instill in my heart. All praise to you Lord. Honor and glory belong to you.

Thank you for the lessons I am learning through this difficult time, for the strength I am building by overcoming it, and for the way it is making me more like you. Help me to remember my blessings, no matter how small they may seem, and to see the good that can come from this hard time.

Remind me that You are bringing beauty from my struggles and that peace can be found in letting go. Please give me the wisdom to navigate this challenge and the patience to endure it. Continue to be with me, and help me to always have a heart of gratitude, even when it is difficult. 

Amen.
