Bishop T.D. Jakes: prayers of a christian woman


Of a weary woman

 

Lord, I am weary of the Loads I’m carrying. The business of living has drained the life out of me. And I am just so tried. I don’t think I can face another day. It’s not just sleep I need. I need real rest. My body needs to rest: my mind needs to rest; even my spirit needs to rest. I need to be renewed from the inside out.

 

And you say, wait. “Wait  upon the Lord, and He shall renew your strength.” I am so weary, Lord that waiting will take all I’ve got.

 

            You promise “quiet resting places” You promise Quietness and assurance forever”. That is what I need. I need to run and hide and rest. O God, bring the river of your life to me. Let it flow and refresh every weary, worn-out place in me.

 

            I want to lie down before the throne of your grace and rest in your presence, my Lord. You call me away to a peaceful, quiet place in you. God, I thank you for rest. I thank you for rescuing me from my weariness and for renewing me day by day
