Safety Of Your Hands

Some hurts don't leave when the tears stop.

Some memories don't fade when the sun comes up.

And some hearts want to forgive...

but don't know how to find peace with what happened.

So tonight,

this prayer is for the people still carrying yesterday.

For the ones trying to heal.

For the ones trying to forgive.

For the ones who are tired of hurting.

Lord, there's a weight that some still carry,

Old wounds hidden deep inside,

Words that cut and moments broken,

Ghosts they thought they'd left behind.

Every smile can hide a struggle,

Every silence tells a tale,

And some hearts are growing weary,

From a war they cannot name.

When the pain keeps coming back,

And the memories won't let go,

Be the voice that softly whispers,

"You don't have to walk alone."

God, if You're listening tonight,

Please bring peace where hurt remains,

Lay Your healing on the broken,

Wash away the fear and shame.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Hold the hearts that cannot rest,

And teach them how to leave their burdens

In the safety of Your hands.

Some are learning how to trust again,

Some are learning how to stay,

Some are trying to forgive the damage,

Though the scars still ache today.

Give them strength when doubt surrounds them,

When resentment calls their name,

Help them trade their pain for mercy,

And their bitterness for grace.

When the darkness feels familiar,

And the healing feels too slow,

Let them feel Your arms around them,

And remind them they are known.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Please bring peace where hurt remains,

Lay Your healing on the broken,

Wash away the fear and shame.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Hold the hearts that cannot rest,

And teach them how to leave their burdens

In the safety of Your hands.

Not every answer comes in moments,

Not every wound is healed today,

But every step toward forgiveness

Is a step You're making safe.

So when they feel they're falling backward,

When the tears begin again,

Remind them healing isn't weakness—

It's the courage to begin.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Please bring peace where hurt remains,

Lay Your healing on the broken,

Wash away the fear and shame.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Hold the hearts that cannot rest,

And teach them how to leave their burdens

In the safety of Your hands.

God, if You're listening tonight,

When the memories start to rise,

Be the calm inside the chaos,

Be the hope inside their minds.

God, if You're listening tonight,

Help them finally understand,

That what happened may have hurt them,

But it doesn't own who they are.

Lord,

for every heart still trying to heal,

for every soul learning how to forgive,

for every person searching for peace...

Let tonight be one more step toward freedom.

Amen.
