Jesus, I give You my hand as I stumble through the hard places of my life. Please don't let go of me, even if at times I seem to pull away from You. Help me know that You are close and that You always offer me the gifts of growth and healing that I need in these hard times. I may need to seek help from others to find my way and to learn from the stresses in my life. Please work through these people to guide me. - Joan Guntzelman
