Prayer During Difficult Times

God of love and mercy, assist me in this time of trouble and anxiety.  Please ease my burdens, strengthen my faith, increase my trust and confidence in Your compassionate care.  Please give me the courage I need, dear Lord, to face the difficulties before me, knowing that with Your help, miracles happen and lives are restored.  I pray for a share in Your healing graces and I ask that You surround me with Your comforting goodness, for health in mind and body, and for a heart filled with hope and peace.  Thank You, dear Almighty Father.  Amen
