A Prayer for When You’re in the Wilderness | Your Daily Prayer

We wander from hope to hopelessness and back again. We struggle with doubt about your goodness because so much bad has happened. Help us remember you. Help us remember your kindness when the world was less than kind. Help us remember your faithfulness even when we lacked faithfulness. Help us remember not the shame we bear from mistakes made and hurts caused, but remind us of your forgiveness. Help us not get so caught up in our desperate circumstances that we miss the way you make. Your way leads us to peace and to comfort. You make paths in the wilderness, and we don’t want to miss it. Open our eyes to see you move. Fill our sight with visions of the future you have for us—one of delight and growth—in the middle of our wilderness. Thank you for doing something new in our lives. Thank you for setting us free from the bonds of shame and remorse. Fill our hearts with rejoicing while we walk this wilderness road. In Jesus’ name, Amen
