Here’s another prayer – featured now in my free e-book For Such a Time as This – that may help you to find words to articulate some of your thoughts and fears when you’re struggling to pray during these dark days of the coronavirus pandemic, reminding you that, however much it may feel like it, you are not alone.
I’m not strong, Lord
I’m not strong, Lord,
but weak.
Help me.
I’m not brave,
but timid.
Help me.
I’m not confident,
but afraid.
Help me.
I’m not calm,
but troubled.
Help me.
I’m not wise,
but foolish.
Help me.
I’m not full of faith,
but racked by doubt.
Help me.
I’m not ready for death,
but thirsting for life.
Help me.
Amen.
