The world is full of violence and distorted truths that pollute my spirit. Little by little, the purity of my passion for You becomes corroded, until I am empty inside.

Therefore, while I hope in Him, take a moment to pour out your adoration to God, Heavenly Father, I worship you, for you are the God of Gods and the Lord of Lords, the Great, the Mighty, and the awesome God. I praise you for your compassion will not fail me. Your love will never cease. You are the faithful One, my God and my redeemer. You are great and greatly to be praised. God's mercy is your protection and it will sustain you. God has mercy for you this day and for all days to come. His mercies will never let you down. The Bible teaches that to trust in God's mercy is a good thing. However, trusting isn't always easy, as life isn't always good. Life is filled with challenges and chaos around every corner, unexpected circumstances, and unforeseen loss at every turn. Stress will try to overcome you to take your focus off of Jesus, but you must not allow it to. Sometimes you feel as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes you will even try to. You should not. You were not made to carry this burden. It does not belong to you. Do not forget that. No matter what happens, the Lord is your portion. You can always hope in him.

Opportunity to present yourself before God to lift up those situations that seem to be getting the best of you. Be honest and open with God in prayer and confess your sins to him. Tell God what is hindering you from placing your trust upon His mercies.

Moments of difficulty and despair that He delivered you from you cuas and circumstances, that God worked to your advantage to bless your life. The reality is God is good all the time. So thank Him for his unfailing compassion over you, for his loving kindness. Thank God for all the past goodness and favor he is bestowed upon your life, and for what is still to come. God is present and he is listening to you. God never said life would be easy, but He promised to be there every step of the way. He sent the Holy Spirit to be your helper. He wants you to succeed. So ask the Holy Spirit to help you overcome stress. Ask him for willingness to press on even when life gets rough. Ask him to teach you to recognize God's mercy in every season of your life. Ask him to help you acknowledge God's goodness every day and in everyway. Remember the Lord's love never ends and his mercies never stop. They are new every morning. For the Lord's loyalty is great. You have the Lord, so no matter what you lose, you still have hope, for even in the midst of hardship, God is still good and He is still in control. God promised he would always care and provide for you. He promised his blessings will overrun you. So do not be afraid. Live with confidence in God's word and watch his blessings manifest in your life. Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer on pray dot com.
