The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, You said in Your Word that Your heart grew weak like wax inside You. Jesus, You felt that on the cross. Like nothing could hold You together anymore. Sometimes I feel a smaller version of that. When I am embarrassed in front of the class. When a friend turns away from me. Lord, You felt the deepest kind of breaking. Please hold my hurting heart together today. Keep me from falling apart. Amen.
