Guided Prayer

A Prayer for those in Difficult Times:

*We hold before God: Those for whom life is very difficult; Those who have difficult decisions to make, and who honestly do not know what is the right thing to do.

*We hold before God: Those who have difficult tasks to do and to face, and who fear they may fail in them; Those who have difficult temptations to face, and who who know only too well that they may fall to them, if they try to meet them alone.

*We hold before God: Those who know that they can be their own worst enemies.

*We hold before God: Those who have difficult people to work with; Those who have to suffer unjust treatment, unfair criticism, unappreciated work.

*We hold before God: Those who are sad because someone they loved has died; and any who are disappointed in something for which they hoped very much.

- William Barclay
