Prayer To Deal With Worry And Stress

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Anxiety, worry and stress is rampant in today’s society. We drive too fast. We work too hard. We sleep too little. We spend too much.

As a result, we are stressed out and full of worry.

Do you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself or worry about issues in your life? Do you suffer with anxiety, worry, fear, and guilt?

The scriptures tell us to take it all to God, with thanksgiving! Don’t be anxious about anything. Leave it in the hands of the Lord.

Let Us Pray

As the tears of my burdens trickle down my cheek and impact the floor, Father please draw near. I am crying out in desperation. I need You right here, right now! Oh Lord, I am constantly on edge and I cannot think clearly.

Matthew 6:34  “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

The stress that weighs on my shoulders keeps me up at night. I toss and turn at the thought of the pressures of life.

1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

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.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

Relax my mind, my body and my soul as I surrender myself to You. Revive the joy and energy I once had. Allow Your light to infiltrate through the darkness and give me grace so I can smile again. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Psalm 55:22  “Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
