Prayer For Burdens
Oh God, my heart is heavy right now, but I trust You with it. I do not have a lot to offer right now, but Lord I give You my whole heart, and I no longer want to lean on my own knowledge and understanding because this is what has caused me to feel burdened. I know that in all things You work for the good of those who love You, who have been called according to Your purpose. So thank You Lord, Amen.
Righteous One, I pray that You help me through the pain that I feel. I pray against this heavy burden and ask for strength to let go of it. I know that I can do all thing through You who strengthens me, so I plead for Your strength. It is only by Your grace that I can be free from the sadness that weighs me down. I look to You Father, and I receive what I have asked for in Jesus' Name, Amen.
Oh Lord, hear my heart right now I pray. Life is hard, but Your Word has told me multiple times that hardship is temporary, but joy is promised to Your children. So Father, I thank You that this heavy burden I feel is only temporary, I believe that my heart will be made whole again by You for with You nothing is or ever shall be impossible. Thank You in advance for my joy, Amen.
Dear God,
Thank you that you are our good Shepherd and we can trust you with our lives, even in the hard times when everything around us feels uncertain. Thank you for your leadership and sovereignty. Thank you for your guidance and care in all our days. Thank you for your promises to restore our souls, give us peace, and bring hope in all our tomorrows. Thank you for your protection and strength that surrounds us, even when we're unaware. Thank you that we never have to fear, for you are with us. Thank you for your goodness and love that follow after us, and for your great faithfulness to see us through every difficult season. We give you praise, for you are trustworthy and true; our refuge and hope. In you alone we find rest and peace and the assurance that we will dwell with you forever.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Dear God,
Thank you for the reminders that you are with us and have overcome the world. Thank you for watching over our coming and going, and that you neither slumber nor sleep. Thank you for your constant care, that you are our help and strength in the daily battles we face. Thank you for protecting and defending us against the schemes of the enemy. No weapon formed against us will prosper in this life, because you are always greater, and our lives are hidden with Christ. We are safe with You. We choose today to keep our eyes off our problems and fixed them solely on you. We choose to look up, for you alone are our Hope.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Dear God,
It's hard sometimes to fully let go of the worries when we can't see all that you're doing. Or when our prayers seem endless with no answer in sight. It's hard to keep trusting when we know that our situation is in need of a complete miracle by your mighty hand. Help us, in faith, to cast every care, every burden on you, because you care about every detail of our lives.
And it's in those very times we know that you are at work, reminding us that without you, it truly is impossible. Thank you Lord, that you are the One who is able to open doors. You guide our ways, heal us, and bring us through the most difficult times. Thank you that you make all things possible. You work miracles so profound it leaves us nowhere to look but to you alone.
We're reminded again of this truth: in our weakness, you are strong. In the fire, in the storm, in the flood, in the battle, in whatever we face, you're right there with us. Shielding, carrying us, bringing us through. You build greatness within us during these times, strengthening our faith, renewing our hope. Thank you God for your goodness and care.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
Dear God,
We're tired of wrestling; we're weary in the struggle of it all. We don't understand what you're doing right now, we can't fully wrap our minds around your ways. But our hearts cry out to you for help and peace in this time of need. Thank you, Lord God, that you are already in all our tomorrows. You know where we've been and you're faithfully leading us forward in the goodness you still have in store.
When we're burdened down in the rush of daily life, help us to live with wisdom and grace. Help us to know when to say no, and to do only what you have asked us to do. We ask that you lift us from the struggle and guilt we carry, replacing it with your powerful peace and rest. Thank you for promising to make our paths straight and that you have the power to make all things new.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Dear God,
The battle feels intense some days. We feel tired, weary and worn. It's hard to keep going in the face of defeat. But help us to remember that you will never leave us. You are our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble. We know that the enemy wouldn't be fighting so hard against us if we weren't making a difference for your Kingdom. He wouldn't be trying so hard to stop us if he didn't think you had so much good still in store.
Remind us that the battle belongs to you, and whatever we're up against is never too big for you. Help us to trust you more, to stop wasting time spinning our wheels and wrestling in our own strength. Please forgive us Lord for the times we've failed to come to you first. Please fill us again with the power and refreshing of your Holy Spirit. Fill us with your joy, with your peace and strength. We're reminded that in you alone is true rest for our souls.
We love you and we need you, today and every day.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
