Turn to me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and afflicted. Psalms 25:16. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36
O mighty God, what a pleasure it is to seek you at this moment in prayer of the afflicted, because the anguish of this land is not few and only the Lord can renew the strength. So hear this prayer of mine, forgive my sins and have mercy on me. I know that I can be shaken by different situations that can happen in my life, however, I will not give up on you.

Many people are currently praying for the afflicted because they believe that only the Lord can solve their problem. For the same reason I place my life in your hands, because the Lord takes away the guilt of everyone who confesses sins to you. So take my life to you and place me in your protective arms so that I can be welcomed.
The psalmist prayed to the Lord with the prayer of the afflicted asking him for mercy. On the other hand, the book of Matthew, your word, states that Christ had compassion on the crowds because they were distressed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd.
My God and Father, I see how much the triune divinity cares about us human beings because Christ died for me and for all while we were still sinners Rom 5:8. I see how great your power is, because while many wear a mask to hide, the Lord used a mask to reveal himself to us. I know of your enormous desire to live with the people. But for this the Lord would have to hide his glory in the incarnation, becoming man. However, there, Jesus, although 100% man, did not stop being God.

I see your word saying: sacrifice and offering you did not want, but the body you prepared for me Heb.10:5. So the divinity, in order not to consume humanity through its splendid power and Glory, clothes itself with humanity.
Therefore, in this prayer of the afflicted, I recognize the divinity of Christ and his perfect sacrifice to save my life and that of all those who give their lives to you. The sacrifice was perfect, Christ was afflicted, they spat in his face and mistreated him until the cross. However, in this moment of affliction, Christ was willingly given to be my substitute. Listen to this Prayer of the afflicted and help me get closer to Christ.
My God, Jesus Christ was tempted according to the perfection of his character, on the other hand I am tempted here on this earth and I need your powerful help. The enemy knows what my weak point is and touches it exactly to make me fall and give up on you. Although, Jesus is the center of my life and the divine Holy Spirit works in my heart changing my character preparing me for the heavenly kingdom.
So when I stumble, when I fall, pick me up again and help me move forward even if everyone is against me. So I say this Prayer of the afflicted, addressing myself directly to the Lord who sees everything. Although I know that I don't understand everything I go through and why I suffer, I know that In the end everything will work out because the Lord leads things with your immense wisdom and omnipotence.
So place your hands on my affliction, heal me from them or else give me power and strength to continue overcoming all obstacles. This way I can be like the apostle Paul, continuing towards the goal of the sovereign calling in Christ Jesus.
Hear from heaven, O God, this prayer of the afflicted and direct my steps towards eternal glory. But I ask not only for myself, I ask for all your servants who are spread across this land. Also touch the hearts of those who haven't given their lives to you yet, whether it's my family or anyone else. I submit this prayer of mine to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
