We tend to forget the power of prayer and the presence of God when we're grieving and aching because it is often all consuming. However, recognition of God's never-ending presence (Romans 8:34-39) always seems to help me focus on Him in the dark moments instead of myself. In addition to praying the scriptures, there are some phenomenal prayers form the saints through the ages that bring me great comfort. A starting place for those who are seeking could be Richard Foster's classic, "Prayers from the Heart". Thanks for sharing David. David,

Its good to see that when life does hurt, you send glory to God and cling to the cross. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29) "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:28-31) Keep on hoping and God will give you strength to rise. David, again you post an amazing blog. Good word from Mr. David Head hear. Its good to see that when life does hurt, you send glory to God and cling to the cross.
