Prayer For Those In Despair
Loving and eternal Father, how we need You every minute of the day.. especially in times of trouble and moments of despair - but You are the God of all hope and our heavenly Comforter, and I pray that You would fill me with Your joy and peace in believing, which is the right of all Your children. I pray that my hope and trust in You may abound and multiply by the power of the Holy Spirit, dwelling in me.
I pray for Your blessing, protectionandencouragement in this increasingly harsh and cruel world.. and that Your comforting presence and perfect peace would replace any moments ofdespair,when my spirit is faint; my soul is downcast and imaginations of my mind start to overtake my rational thinking.
Guard and protect my mind I pray and may I learn to take every thought captive to Christ, so that I may rise above my problems and pain of life.. rather than dwelling on the difficulties, dangers and challenges of life. Thank YouFatherthat You are the One Who goes before me and has promised that You will never leave me nor forsakeMe. Help me to look to Jesus and rest in Him.. so that I will not be dismayed.. in Whose name I pray
Amen.
Prayer To Overcome Despair
Heavenly Father, I pray that You would help me to overcome the negative feeling of despair that I often find myself to be falling into, when I am thinking about all that is going on in the world around me.. and yet
I know that You have promised to go before and behind me - and be with me in all the problems and difficulties of life.
I pray that I may learn how to overcome the negative feelings of despair I have, when I start thinking about all my problems and how I am going to manage. Help me to look to Jesus to lift my weary spirit I pray for I know in my heart, that the only peace and rest to be found.. is in You.
Keep me I pray from becoming overwhelmed by feelings of despair but rather help me to look to Jesus as the anchor of my soul as soon as any negative thoughts start to enter my mind. May I learn quickly to take each thought captive to Christ, and give Him the cares and worries that cause me to fall into despair.
Help me I pray to anchor my thoughts on whatsoever is true, and good, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable, and help me to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise, so that all feelings of despair do not have a foothold in my heart this I ask in Jesus name,
