Lord, I cannot hold back my fear & anxiety when life takes a sudden turn for the worse. But I know You can, for You tell me in II Timothy 1:7 that You’ve not given me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-control. So with that reassurance I will rest confidently in Your Presence & fear not. (Psalm 4:8)
Lord, I cannot restrain my feelings of isolation and loneliness as a 24 hour Caregiver to my loved one. But You can…for you won’t leave me as an orphan, for the indwelling Holy Spirit is with me. (John 14:18) “And so Lord, I will praise You, Who counsels me; even at night as my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me. And because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 16:7-8)
Lord, I cannot seem to regulate my weariness in persevering day in and day out as I care for someone. But I know You have invited me to find my rest in You. (Matthew 11:28) And as I do, I can hold fast to my confession of hope without wavering, for You are faithful in all Your promises. (Hebrews 10:23)
Lord, I cannot. But You can.
