Precious Lord, take my hands and lead me into clearer waters. Lead me into brighter days and happier times. I need to be pulled up out of this disparaging state that I sank into. I want to find exuberant joy and true laughter again. I need contentment and the ability to feel again. Help me. Help me to breathe easier. Take this weight that hurts so much and give me happiness like before. In Your name, I pray. Amen.
