Wednesday Prayer: Honest Lament

God, I'm struggling, and I need to be honest about it. This situation feels unbearable, these circumstances feel unfair, and I don't understand what you're doing. I wish I had neat, tidy faith that never questions, but I don't. I have messy, wrestling faith that needs to be real with you.

I'm not trying to accuse you or push you away - I'm trying to bring my whole self to you, pain and all. Help me trust you when I can't see your hand, believe you're good when life doesn't feel good, hope in your promises when circumstances suggest otherwise. I don't need you to explain everything; I just need you to hold me through everything. Be near in this hard place. That's all I'm asking.
