3 prayers for when you're working hard to weather life's storms

As Christians we're called to pray without ceasing. Whether times are good or bad, through life's ups and downs, we should always turn to and talk to God. But sometimes when we most need to call on Him for guidance, comfort and understanding, we're so disheartened by our own situation that we doubt that He still can.

Have you been dealt some sad news, recently suffered a loss or are feeling generally pessimistic about the path that you're on? No matter how great you think your burden is, God is greater. So don't waste time in talking to Him about what you're going through and asking for His help. From providing you with His peace and surrounding you with His love, to shining a light on the way out of your troubles, He will help put you back on the right path.

Here are three prayers for when you're working hard to weather life's storms.
