On days when you feel like you’re drowning, pray a short, but sweet prayer: “Lord, save me!” That prayer is short and simple, but it’s packed with honesty and humility.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My friend, Christy, has multiple sclerosis anddiabetes, but she isn’t beaten down by this double whammy of a medical condition. She writes a regular column of encouragement to other Christians who wrestle against pain, and many see her as a “spiritual giant.” But Christy? She doesn’t see herself quite like that. Christy told me – she said, “Joni … Often I find myself reacting like Peter; sinking and crying out, ‘Lord, save me!’” That prayer is short and simple, but it’s packed with honesty and humility. Now, you may not have a chronic illness or be a quadriplegic like me, but you must have days when you feel like you’re drowning – like you can’t meet everyone’s expectations. It’s why I encourage you to pray that short, but sweet prayer: “Lord, save me!” And, friend, we want to pray with you and for you. Share with us your prayer needs at joniandfriends.org.
