Prayer For When You Feel Overwhelmed
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.
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
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.
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.
Lord, have mercy. Touch me, Lord. Help me cope. These are sacred expressions linked to the rhythm of breathing, and are a way to pray without ceasing, as the Bible admonishes, whenever we feel overwhelmed.
When circumstances overwhelm and seem too much to bear, I depend on You, Lord, and trust Your precious care.
verses from my collection is this one:
Dear Lord, you're just in all your ways
And holy are your works each one
You're near to all that on you call
I call in truth on you alone.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Look upon me with your eyes of mercy. Lay Your healing hand upon me, letting Your life-giving power invade every cell of my body to the depths of my soul; cleansing, purifying, and restoring me to strength for work in Your kingdom.
