Father, I am hurting. Something has happened. I am emotional about it. And I know how dangerous the emotions can be. I do not want to make a mistake or sin by acting on my emotion as I hurt. Help me to remember to be still and draw nearer and nearer to You, as I open my heart and mind to trust You all the more... especially now. I do not want to do anything wrongly out of my pain. Rather, I want to calm, rest in You and in the Word, trust You and allow You to work in this, and use my pain as an opportunity to pray even more.
Do not allow me to do anything foolish or stupid because of my emotions. I do not want to make matters worse from thinking and acting out of emotion rather than by doing what You tell me to do, when, and how. Thank You for this pain... as it helps me to get right with You, to be in Your Word, to pray, to praise You, and trust You even more because of this pain.
Will You comfort me? Will You guide me? Will You help me to see clearly through the pain and to listen to You even more? Father, I cannot do anything without You (John 15:5)... especially now. I realize in my pain, I can make things worse, and I sure do not want to do that.
I trust You.
