Let us pray together dear friends....Join me in prayer...
Scripture
Psalm 62: 8
"Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."
Lord, I need Your help. I am feeling the strain of stress. My body is agitated by worry and fear. I confess to You my inability to handle it alone. I surrender my mind to You. Think Your thoughts through me and send into my nervous system the pure signals of Your peace, power, and patience. I don't want to have a divided mind fragmented from Your control.
Forgive my angers rooted in petulant self-will. Make me a riverbed for the flow of Your love to others suffering as much stress as I. Take charge of my tongue so that it becomes an instrument of healing. Make me a communicator of love and forgiveness as I cheer others on to their best. Help me act on the inspiration You give me rather than stifling Your guidance. I commit my schedule to You, Lord; help me know and do Your will. Slow me down before I break down. Set me free from the tyranny of acquisitiveness, seeking my security in things rather than in my relationship with You.
I long to be the person You created me to be, and not anyone else. Forgive me when I take my signals of success from others and not You. Most of all, Lord, help me to catch the drumbeat of Your guidance and live by Your timing. Here is my life...invade it, fill it, transform it. And I thank You in advance for the healing of my life and for giving me the strength to conquer stress. In the name of Jesus "Amen"
