You keep track of all my sorrows.You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
—Psalm 56:8 (NLT)
Compassionate LORD GOD,
Down all the paths of sorrow, where my wanderings sometimes lead, remind me that you see each tear, and know my every need.
When I find myself in a place of great sorrow—when I start to waver between faith and fear—comfort me with the certainty that You see me, You completely understand what I am feeling, and You are right there with me to carry me through my sadness and bring me back to that place of joy.
You know the end of every problem and trouble that I face before it even comes, but still You feel the hurt of every pain that I suffer along the way. Nothing that happens to me goes unnoticed, unrecorded or unremembered by You—for You are lovingly compassionate and just. You are my God and my Defender.
Quiet my heart and soothe my restless emotions, so I can live in the peaceful assurance that You intimately know and care about every detail of my life and are actively working for good through everything that happens, as You draw me closer to You.
Down all the paths of sorrow, where my wanderings sometimes lead, remind me that you see each tear, and know my every need.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
