Are you in malaise and loneliness? Say this prayer

God, sometimes I feel
as in the desert
where life is difficult,
where doubt dominates,
where darkness reigns, where you are missing.

The desert is a passage for those who have chosen you,
a passage for those who love you,
a necessary passage to life,
a passage that tests.

God, you give me proof
but also the strength to overcome it,
you give me the desert
but also the strength to continue.

I'm afraid of the desert, Lord,
I'm afraid of missing, I'm afraid of betraying you.
It's easy to feel you in joy,
it's easy to discover yourself in nature,
but it is difficult to love you in the desert.

God, in the night of pain, in the darkness of doubt,
in the desert of life, don't make me doubt you.
I am not asking you to free me from the desert
but to help me walk with you,
please don't take away the desert
but to make me walk towards you.
