Prayer When Things Seem Unfair

Lord Jesus, How often we ask why: When illness or other adversity strikes–"Why me?" In the rubble of natural disaster–"Why here?" When the answer to prayer isn't what we had in mind–"Why not?" Loving Savior, Help me to regard whatever comes my way this day As opportunity: To give thanks for blessings undeserved; In offering forgiveness, to be undeterred; To look for ways to turn things around; In prayer, to be faithful that You won't let me down.
 

To remain hopeful in You, who know my every need; In a tumultuous world, to be a source of peace.

Amen.
