a prayer for…
Anxiety is hard. Grief is hard. Depression is hard. LIFE IS HARD!
When we go through hard seasons, we should lean on Jesus to be our strength. It is so important that we bring our burdens to the feet of Jesus.
We are also human. We fall short, we make mistakes, and it is essential that we come to Jesus, humbling ourselves before Him, and ask forgiveness for our wrongdoing.
In this blog, I want to share with you five prayers.
• A PRAYER FOR ANXIETY
• A PRAYER FOR CONFUSION
• A PRAYER FOR SADNESS
• A PRAYER FOR REPENTANCE
• A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH
• an extra guided prayer for another person!
ANXIOUS:
Dear God, thank You for everything You have done for me. Right now, I am feeling overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. I pray in this moment that You would cover me with peace. Remind me of Your promise that You do not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love. My God, I need You. Ease my anxiety, quiet the rush of my thoughts, and let You truth overflow my heart and mind. In Jesus Name, Amen.
CONFUSED:
Dear God, I thank You for the promise that You have a plan. Right now, God, it’s hard for me to see that. I pray for guidance and clarity for the days ahead. Reveal to me what You can and lead me. Help me to be reminded that You are a way-maker and a good father. I surrender my today, my tomorrow, and my every day. Each day I will seek to trust You more. In Jesus Name, Amen.
SAD:
Heavenly Father, this life is hard. I am feeling overwhelmed with grief, sadness, and a loss of joy. I cannot go without thanking You for today, but I don’t understand why things are happening the way they are. I am feeling sad, my God. Help me to see that there is JOY in the morning and a reason for my life. I pray that You will uplift my spirits, soften my heart, and help me to see the greatness of Your love, the goodness of today, and the joy that is deep in my heart.
STRENGTH:
Hey God, I cannot continue without thanking You for Your never-ending love and kindness. Right now, God, I just come to You needing strength. I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and I need relief. Here I am to lay down my burdens, my struggles, my pain to You. I thank You, God, for all that You have done and that You are greater than anything I’m facing. I will give it all to You today. Amen.
REPENTANCE:
Dear God, I come to You with a heart of repentance. I come to You in need of forgiveness. I have wronged You with my words and actions. I ask that You forgive me. Thank You for not keeping a record of wrongs, God. Thank You for sending Your Son to pay the ultimate price for our sins. I cannot promise I won’t do it again; I can promise I’ll try. Thank You for loving me despite my imperfections. In Jesus Name, Amen.
