Prayer For Overcoming Obstacles
Father, I feel like giving up especially with the obstacle I'm facing today. Help me to remember the reason I began. Help me to see the purpose behind Your plan. Provide the necessary grace. Keep me set upon Your face, to find strength for the next step, to discover faith to keep trying and to believe that miracles are possible today and in all circumstances. Amen.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,
for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life,
which God has promised to those who love him.
Let no one say when he is tempted,
I am being tempted by God,
for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no one.
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
O Lord,
I trust that you understand my son/daughter. You have carried him in the hardest times. Only you have seen each despairing moment, and only you have walked beside him. Now I ask that you, with your gentle, healing hands would lead him away from his drug addiction. Cover his mind and body as he faces the withdrawal, and fill his heart with songs of hope. Help him to see what you can already see. My son, cleansed of all the upset and brokenness, free to live and love, restored and redeemed.
Amen.
Abba...this is a really hard time of year for so many.
Some are experiencing the first round of holidays and feasts without a loved one...
whether through death or a need for reconciliation.
Some are going through serious illness.
Some are experiencing great financial hardship.
Some are locked into bondages and/or addictions.
Abba, please touch each one, especially those who are reading this prayer and their loved ones.
I lift them all up to You, Abba.
You can bring healing...
where no one else can.
You can touch hearts...
Help me I pray, to gain a greater understanding of Your perfect perspective on my life. Give me patience in all my adversities, and help me to recognise Your guiding hand and Your loving patience towards me. I pray that I will not be overwhelmed or overcome by life's difficulties, but use each one I pray, to teach me more of Your character, love and grace. Please make me increasingly willing to be changed into the person You would have me be, to Your greater glory. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Everlasting Father, thank you that you are strong and true, abounding in love for me. As I face obstacles that seem insurmountable, please show your power and give me victory and success. For all the days of my life, I ask that you will give me the strength I need to run the race set before me. I pray that my life would be a testimony of your grace and love. Give me the strength to endure, the power to overcome and the peace to be content in every circumstance. To you be all the praise and honor. Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank you that your grace is beyond measure. Throughout eternity, you have been working for my good and the good of all your people. May I know your power and grace to overcome the obstacles in my life. May the things that stand in my way become examples of your limitless power. Clothe me with power as I live my life in your righteous name. May I prosper and bring you glory on the earth. May I be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
God, I offer myself to Thee
to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self,
that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties,
that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help
of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!
