Prayer For Strength
Dear God,
I know there are times we all go through trials and tribulation.Times get tough and some of us may need an outlet but not be custom to asking for help. I know sometimes I can't do it along and feel better after prayer. So....I just thought the need to offer a prayer for anyone going through anything.
I ask you to give us peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. To help us heal from hurt and to remove everything that is causing grief, stress or sorrow in our lives. Please place people in our lives that can be of help, guide our paths especially with helping us & those we struggle with to be at peace & have respect for one another.
I pray that you cheer up and refresh our spirit, help our hearts smile, and disrupt anything that does not bring us joy. I also ask for special blessings and healing for those that have incurred any health problems, mental health issues, addiction and or sobriety. Please provide the strength, comfort and remedies needed for us to overcome and not be overwhelmed by despair and the difficulties many of us have that others may not know about.
I thank you for all you have done, and give advance thank you for what you will do for all our family, friends and neighbors.
