Prayer for When You Feel Under Pressure

2 Corinthians 1:8-9 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced while in Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

When life gets extremely overwhelming, we can only see what we perceive is ahead of us. We may even stop praying and trusting in God.

But even the apostle Paul, when under great pressure, realized he had been doing things wrong. He had been relying on himself and his own strength and wisdom, instead of relying on our God, who even raised the dead!

What is your situation today? What is putting you under such great pressure? Take a moment to go to God in prayer to ask for relief from anxiety and stress. And allow the Lord to be your source of all things.

Let’s Pray:

Heavenly Father, I praise your name today! You are so awesome Lord. I thank you that I can just come and sit quietly before you and seek solace when I feel like I’m under pressure.

As life is happening, I feel so consumed with all that is going on around me, in my country, my family, my home, my finances, my relationships. I call upon you as I feel so stressed and worn down. 

I am tired, Father and need your living water to quench my thirst. I hunger for You. Help me to seek you more and more each day. 

Oh Lord, my God, grant me peace in my heart, eliminate the pain and relieve me of the stress I feel. Allow Your serenity and love to consume me.

Father, equip me with the strength and courage I need to overcome these stressful situations in my life. In Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen!
