Prayer for today (4/7/16)

Father, sometimes life's problems have a way of making me cry, leaving me with no one to turn to. Father, I have lived to learn there is a blessing in mourning. It gives me a chance to pray even more and get closer to you, so you can reach down and comfort me. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
