Prayer For Overwhelmed

Give me the wisdom and clarity to see the solution to things. Equip me with patience, wisdom, love, compassion, and guidance to be able to overcome and move forward. When I am tempted to run away and hide, I pray that your heavy conviction would be upon me, so I heed your voice and instruction.

Help me to seek refuge and strength in your Word and to gain the right perspective over my situation. I pray that your scripture would refresh my spirit. I pray in Jesus' holy name, Amen.


Father, forgive me when I try to protect myself from life's trials, and I forget that your truth is the ultimate solution to overcome. I give you my anxiety about things I cannot change. Forgive me for not trusting in you enough to give it all to you, Lord. You are my protector and the one who watches over me.

Help me to invest in myself by reading your Word and spending time in prayer. By doing this, I will be able to handle the chaos of unplanned events better. Restore my mind, my heart, my body, and my soul Father.

Thank you for your mercy and saving grace precious Lord.

I pray these things, in Jesus' holy name, Amen.


Heavenly Father,

Thank you for revealing my weaknesses in trying to carry the burden and stress of my situation. Forgive me for trying to handle it all on my own and for allowing it to consume and rob me of my peace. I know that anxiety, fear, worry, and anger are not Godly reactions. Father, my emotions teeter on the edge when things don't go smoothly, and I find my thoughts, and my heart are being pulled in multiple directions. Instead of approaching each event individually, I simply react to them as a whole with no resolve. I want to run away from the problem instead of facing it head-on. Amen


Dear God, holy and mighty one. You are worthy of all praise, all honor. Your steadfast love amazes me each morning. When I hear voices around me saying I am not good enough, help me hear Your truth in my heart and give me strength. Be with those who feel inadequate and doubt if anyone cares about them. When they question their value, give them a deeper sense of worth in Christ, and Christ alone.

Thank You that we don't have to fight for our worth because You have already called us Your children.

In Jesus' name, amen.


Father, You have the power to control the sun and the moon. You are the everlasting light.

Help me to see a light at the end of my tunnel.

Sometimes I can barely remember what light looks like or what it feels like to have simple joy. Help me to focus on You even in the darkness.

Support my friends as they suffer losses like miscarriages, death, and illness. When these trials plague those I love, I feel so helpless. Would You show off Your light in their lives?

Thank You, God, that You are our rock and healer and that You will bring our mourning to an end.

In the name of the everlasting Light, amen.


Father in heaven, You are the God of King David and my God too. You reign forever and over everything.

Bring me peace when I am overwhelmed. I don't know how I can accomplish all of the things I need to get done. Light my path and show me the activities and obligations I can say no to. Help me release the burdens that preoccupy my mind and keep You at bay.

Come near.

God, please hear the cries of those who feel overwhelmed as they serve You. Many of them don't feel Your presence right now in their lives. Remind them of Your faithfulness.

Thank You for Your nearness and consistency. Thank You for hearing my cries no matter where I am.

In Jesus' name, amen.


Lord, when my heart is overwhelmed, overwhelm me with Your peace. Lead me to You, my rock. Guide me to Your Word which gives me strength and refuge. Help me not to run to lesser things. Draw me to run to You first. Help me get into the habit of taking my overwhelmed and placing it under your will. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen.


Loving Father, thank you that you are my creator, you made me and you love me. As I feel overwhelmed with the barriers that stand in my way, may my eyes be lifted to behold your power and glory. You are the God who holds the stars in your hand and yet you reach down to bless me. May I see your all-conquering power at work. May I rejoice in your glorious victory, may I praise your majestic name. May I live as your beloved child, receiving your everlasting kindness. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
