Where are you God

Many people may be struggling now, they may not know God is real, that God is still active in their lives. They have trials and struggles consuming them. They are crying out to God for peace and forgiveness. This is a prayer for them.


"My soul longs to see you, I search and search for peace and you are no where to be found, where are you God? Where is the peace? where is the comfort? I feel my whole world coming down on me, my whole life is a mess and I need some sense assurance of your presence. I know in my mind you are here, I know that you love me, but I need to feel your love, i need to feel your presence. What am I doing wrong that I cannot feel you. I call your name and I hear nothing. Help me Lord to hear you, help me to recognize you, help me to feel you close to me. Today and everyday I look for you, my pain is so intense, my struggles so real and I need peace.

I am reaching out to you dear God, I am reaching out for you to protect me from my enemies, to protect me from myself, from my fears and my anxiety. Protect me from my frustrations and my perceived failures. Hear me oh Lord, hear me. Let me know your presence. Fill me with your love and grace. Fill me with your spirit, give me a spirit of joy. Fill me with your grace, allow me the sanctity of assurance so that I may know you again. Forgive me for my unbelief. Forgive me for the burdens I cannot release, for the grudges I carry. Forgive me for the hurt I cannot release to you. Forgive me for the anger I harbor. Forgive me for the misplaced pride and for the mistakes I make. Refresh my soul Lord, refresh me with your Holy Spirit that I may know you - again. Amen"
