When It Hurts Too Much to Pray

Lee Anne Steed is a friend in Eldorado, Illinois who recently wrote this and gave me her gracious permission to share it with you here. In my humble opinion, this reads like a Psalm and I love it —

When it hurts too much to pray.

When the words won’t form in your mind to say.

When you’ve done all that you know to do. With too many sleepless nights. With too many hits from the wrong direction has left you feeling vulnerable.

God is still there. He hasn’t forgotten you.

It’s hard to give it to Him and let Him keep it.

Remind yourself what God has done. Remember this is the same God that created something out of nothing. Remember this is the same God that created the sun, the moon and the stars.

This is the same God that sent His son not just to die for you but to live for you.

Remember who God is.

Remember… then believe He can still do it.
