Facing something so big,

You don't know what to pray?

When Peter tried walking in water,then saw the eaves threatening to overwhelm him, he prayed a simple prayer -a prayer I have used many times in emergencies. "LORD save me!" 

Matthew 14:30

This morning I was led to another prayer - this one on God Tube.

Written by a mom overwhelmed by the circumstances of her life this prayer really speaks to the crux of just about any overwhelming situation.

Read it here on God Tube :
