A Prayer For The Anxious Soul

Jesus

Your Word says an anxious heart weighs a person down, and this is how I think they must feel—as if they're carrying heavy loads, more than they can bear. When they feel upset and beside themselves, calm them down and comfort them with the assurance of Your love. Help them not be overwhelmed by anxious thoughts. (Proverbs 12:25a; Psalm 94:19)

Our hearts are not supposed to be troubled; but that's their struggle—help them trust You and the Lord Jesus, as I know they must. Help them understand that You are the One who makes a way when things seem impossible; nothing is too hard for You! (John 14:27; Isaiah 43:19; Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37)

Help them be faithful to You and to the way You want them to live, for You guard the lives of those who are faithful; You protect them and never turn away from them. Help them know You as their fortress, as the rock in whom they take refuge, as One who is good, whose love endures forever, whose faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 97:10; Proverbs 2:8; Psalm 37:28; 94:22; 100:5)

In Jesus' name, amen.
'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'

Beth, Thank you so much for those prayers, Sometimes we seem to forget that Jesus is with us in this. And with His help this journey will be so much easier. Jesus wants us to think positive thoughts because that brings us closer to Him. Take care and God bless.

:)Hi Sharri. I haven't been in the prayer group for very long myself, but it's wonderful here. We just post and pray for each other, and the trials we are going through. Welcome! I'm sure you'll find peace of mind here. Do you have the program? I will talk to you anytime and my email is on my profile. Everyone on the site is going through similar issues, and they are very caring, loving individuals, and you won't have to go through your trials alone.

Take care,
God Bless

Since you can choose your own thoughts, when doubt comes you should learn to recoginze it for what it is, say, "No, thatnk you" - and keep on believing!

Dear Good thank you today for reminding us how much you care for each of us. Help us to realize we have the power to choose, we have the keys to heaven, we can bring heaven down to earth with our prayers. With our Faith we can move mountains, because You are on our side, You are just waiting for us to let go, so you can help us walk through the valey each day. We can truly Fear No evil, for Though art with us every step of the way. In Jesus' precious name Amen.

What do you think?
