Prayer of the afflicted

Dear Lord, 
God and Father 
of all tender mercies,

Please allow me 
to beseech you 
in my time of affliction,

I know Dear Father,

that you care for
even the sparrows,
how much more so
you care for 
your faithful servants...
especially 
in our time of need

I know not of my sins,
as I cannot see my own
imperfections, and
it is hard to see myself 
as you do,
through your loving lens

Dwelling as I do,
in this earthenware vessel
of your making,

my treacherous heart
tries to impose it's will,
but thanks to your Word
and the power you have given me
I have thus far continued to 
battle my fallen flesh

I am unaware of my sins
and for these I am truly sorry
as I must have failed you
in thought, word or deed

I know you alone 
are wholly righteous
and,
only because of your mercy, 
and loving kindness
can I approach you in prayer

thanks for giving us your
Son as a ransom on our behalf,
although many of
humankind do not know,
or appreciate,
your loving gift,
I do!

I look forward to 
your righteous new world,
as promised in your Word,
where all suffering and even death
will be swallowed up forever

I have faith in you,
that you will 
keep your promises
as you are a God 
who cannot lie

until then dear Father,
please help me 
to endure my afflictions,
to endure this wicked world
and it's sadistic ruler

until your time comes 
to step into human affairs
once again,

please continue to bless me
even though I am nothing but dust;
but, you in your Majestic Mercy
and Loyal Love of Righteousness
understand my incompleteness
and forgive

In Jesus name,

Amen
