Oh God i'm drowning in my sea of blood, hate, and deception. I'm drowning... dying. Do you even care? -Beth

Right now, life just doesn't feel worth living. And yet I know you want me to go on. Lord, you have to help me see the way. I feel darkness pressing in all around me and I need your light. Lord, help me to find the way out. Help me to know you are there. Please send someone to reach out a hand to show me that you are with me. Amen. -Paul

My God, I know I can't do anything without you. I know I'm weak. I need you. I explain to others how anorexia feels, but you already know. You know me so well. Continue to give me the strength to fight this battle, and to ask for help when I need it. In the long hours of the day when I feel lonely or sad, be with me. Help me to run to you, give me the grace to continue on. Let me remember today how much you love and care for me. -Erin

My Savior, please lift the darkness from my heart and show me your light. Amen. -Rachel

Why, Lord? Why are the ones I love gone while I'm still here? I know that they would want me to live on, but still, Lord, it feels so wrong. Help me to keep living and to find joy again, and to do some good in honor of my loved one who is gone. Please help me to follow you one day at a time. -Jan

Help me shut out the sounds of my parents' fighting. They're breaking up my home-I feel like my whole life is falling in around me and I can't stand it! Please help me not to take sides and to forgive them for this enormous hurt. Let me love them both and see the good in both of them. I know that you're always with me and you love me. I know Mary is near to comfort me, and I know your angels surround me to protect me. The problem is that I can't see you, and the people I can see are tearing my life apart. Help me, God, help me. Amen. -Jo

Dear God, please forgive me for yelling at my siblings. Help me to let them know I care. Help me to become a better role model. Help me to value time with my family. Amen. -Emily

God, please help me to get along with my family. It seems like I'm always messing up. I know that when they criticize me they are trying to motivate me to do better, but it still hurts. Help me to look for the good in them and to learn to think before I get angry and say awful things. When I fail, help me to say I am sorry. Please help me in difficult situations and show me how to offer others respect and love. Amen. -Justin

Dear God, there's a kid at school who is always alone. He doesn't eat with anyone, doesn't meet anyone between classes, doesn't look at anyone. I've said something to him a few times, but he doesn't really answer. It's like he doesn't want friends. He must be really lonely. Should I tell someone, a teacher or coach maybe? Lord, I've been lonely, too, and I know how much it hurts. If you were in my place, Lord, you'd find a way to be is friend. Guide me to find a way to be a Good Samaritan, Lord, and to lighten his load if I can. Amen. -Jack

Dear Lord, thanks for letting me have such a good time last night. It's fun being with a bunch of classmates, cheering for the team and just hanging out. Thanks for giving me such great friends, too. I feel like I can talk to them about anything-serious stuff and "whatever stuff"-and they'll be there for me when I need them. I'll be there for them, too, because that's what friends are for. -Zach
