ACFW Conference Prayer: That We Weep with Those Who Weep
Romans 12:15b– . . . and weep with those who weep
Dear Lord,
For those whose conference experience includes conquered hopes and dashed dreams, please surround them with Your care and help them trust You in disappointment. Please comfort the discouraged. strengthen those who doubt, and give them hope to continue writing. Please help every conference attendee have open hearts and eyes to see who needs comfort and to take time to console them. Enable us with Your mercy and grace. Amen.

It is so easy to forget
those who silent-slip away,
whose dreams are dead, and who regret
having come here on this day.
The hopes brought seem all in vain,
and humiliation’s like a beacon.
The taste of gall will long remain
and turn them from their seeking.
Please, Lord, dry their red-rimmed eyes,
and whisper what they mean to You.
Give them the courage to reprise
this path, and to see it through.
All have once been in their shoes,
and no one ever’s born to lose.
