A Prayer about Hope in Dark Valleys
A Prayer about Hope in Dark Valleys
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me. Psalm 23:4
Lord, our Good Shepherd,
As we walk through dark valleys,
valleys that feel like death,
valleys that lead to death,
[Name some valleys you are currently walking through or have walked through.]
We will not be afraid,
[Name any fears you have felt.]
For you are close beside us.
[Name how you have known God’s presence with you.]
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort us.
[Name the protection from harm and the comfort in grief and pain you have known].
In the name of our comforting Shepherd, Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
Read Psalm 23.
