To Keep Me From Bitterness In My Disappointments

Oh Lord God, You know me better than anyone else. You know all about the deep disappointments that I have been facing and the sadness that fills my heart. Keep me, Lord, from building up resentments and bitterness, and help me not to harbour any hurts or grievances in my heart.

Lord, You have promised to strengthen Your children and to uphold each one with Your righteous right hand. Help me to cling to this truth I pray. Lord, I ask that You would heal all the pain in my heart, change my sorrow into joy and transform my disappointments into blessings from You.

Uphold me Lord day by day, with Your everlasting arms, and pour the precious peace that only comes from You into my hurting heart. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient to turn my disappointments into laughter.  May I rest in this truth. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
