Prayer

We need You Lord.  More than anything or anyone....We. Need. YOU!  We need to know beyond any doubt that You are here....walking beside us....holding us when we need to be held....comforting us when we feel so alone....loving us like no one else can.  Why?  Because life is just hard at times.  In fact Lord....sometimes we think it's not even worth living because we have messed it up so badly.  Yet we know we have to keep going on....striving to be what we need to be....what You want us to be.  Oh Lord we know that You are the Shepherd....the Gentle Shepherd....and You long to guide us through all the rough places....we just have to call on You and lean in to You.  Please....just take us....take me....and hold us in Your arms tonight.  Be to each one of us....be to me....what we need You to be.  We need You Lord....I need You Lord!  We need to feel Your love....Your rest....Your peace....and really....really know....that You are holding us close and everything is good!
