## Written prayer

Dear God, my soul has strayed from You. Comfort and peace have alluded me. I have searched for ways to return to You but to no avail. I may sleep tonight, but it will not be true rest. That only comes from You. I earnestly and eagerly ask that You restore my heart to You. Bring me back to a place of harmony with Your Spirit. I am tired and weary. May Your word be my bread. May Your Spirit be my water. May Your loving embrace and tender mercy be my rest. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
