In Jesus' name, Amen."

Based on Philippians 4:6-8, Psalm 46:1
✝ Prayer When Feeling Hopeless
"God of all comfort, I feel like I'm in a dark valley. But You are with me. You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Lift my head, restore my hope, and remind me that this darkness is not forever. Help me take the next step, even when I don't feel like it. Send people to walk alongside me. I trust that weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Amen."
