Father God,
We cry out in our weakness to Your strength.
We cry out in our inability to Your ability.
We come to You aware of how limited we are and how unlimited You are.
We bring every place where we feel small, every burden that weighs heavy, every moment where we do not know what to do, and we place it before You.
We acknowledge that we cannot carry ourselves, we cannot save ourselves, and we cannot sustain ourselves without You.
You are the One who lifts us when we fall and steadies us when we shake.
You are our strength when our own strength runs out.
Father, we cry out in our weakness because You meet us there.
In the moments when we feel overwhelmed, You are calm.
In the moments when we feel broken, You are whole.
In the moments when we feel lost, You remain faithful.
We look to You because You are the only One able to hold everything we cannot.
We cry out in our inability to Your ability.
Your power has no boundaries.
Your wisdom is perfect.
Your love is steady and unchanging.
Where we do not know how to move forward, You already see the way.
Where we cannot heal ourselves, You are the healer.
Where we cannot fix what is wrong, You are the God who restores.
Teach us to trust what You can do rather than fear what we cannot do.
Help us really know You, Father.
Not just in moments of emotion but in the quiet places where You whisper truth.
Help us know Your heart, Your character, Your kindness, and Your presence.
Let our relationship with You become real and deep and transforming.
Open our eyes to see You more clearly and open our hearts to recognize Your voice.
Help us really love You, Father God.
Teach us a love that is sincere and steady.
Teach us a love that is rooted in truth and not in feelings alone.
Remove everything that crowds out our affection for You.
Grow in us a desire to seek You, to honor You, and to walk closely with You.
Let our love for You be a reflection of the love You have poured out on us from the beginning.
Father God, we cry out because we need You.
We cry out because we trust You.
We cry out because our hearts belong in Your hands.
Hold us, lead us, and draw us into deeper love and deeper knowing.
Amen.
