Heavenly Father,
Right now I am feeling so overwhelmed. I’m overcomed with so many emotions that I don’t even know how to define them.
But you know, Father.
You know the intentions of my heart. You know every thought before I even think it. Your Word says that even when I’m not quite sure how to pray, your Holy Spirit is interceding for me with groanings too deep for words.
So I pray, now, that you would take all the anguish within me and replace it with peace.
I pray desperately that you would change the circumstances around me and relieve me of this difficult trial I am going through.
But if that is not your will, God, then change me instead. Help me to see that you are greater than the storms of this life.
I am more than a conqueror through Christ, and He is surely able to overcome anything. I am so grateful that my ability to overcome this life is not dependent on me; you have already won the battle, and I just need to rest in the victory.
The suffering I am facing is heavy. But I am sure that you will bring me through it.
In the worst of my pain, when I am overwhelmed by too many feelings to put into words, help me to remember your many promises.
If you are for me, then nothing can be against me. I affirm this and ask for your guidance in Jesus’ name. Amen.
