prayer for strength and endurance

dear Lord,

it is with a humbled desperation do i come to You
seeking Your strength to be mine
for i have none of my own left
with the silences in life
expectations and desires not fulfilled by those around
so that Your fulfillment and satisfaction would come
fully satisfying, fully appreciated
of Your comfort, love, and hope

You have called me on this journey
to be faithful
to follow obediently
to trust You fully
because You are trust-worthy
You do not disappoint
You have ways in making everything well according to Your timing and plan

there are things in this world that I do not understand
things i have yet to see
people that i do not understand
there are too many uncertainties and uncontrolled elements
i would be too proud if i say i don't need You
i would be too stupid if i never asked for Your help

so i'm asking
for all contentment in You
for full submission to Your will
for wholly trust into Your plans for my life
for peace in falling into Your sovereignty

may my words and prayers ever be true
may my heart ever rest secure in You

prayer of trust

Dear Lord,

i want to trust in You
in Your unfailing love
in Your omnipotent
in Your omniscient
in Your omnipresence

You are the only One who knows me fully
You know exactly how my future will come to being
You are in control
You have the best in mind for my life

Thank You Lord. Thank You
for i can trust in You

there's nothing to fear or fret

Dear Lord,

In times like these I have to come to You
We have to come to You again
crying out for Your mercy to extend
for Your grace to guard
and Your love to protect
from discouragement
from disbelief
from losing faith in You
and losing sight of You

You promised that You would not tempt us beyond what we cannot bear
may You hold true Your promises

Do not leave us in devastation and hopelessness
But to continue to look to You for hope and our future
For the hope of salvation for our loved ones
For the hope that surely You have a future for us
For the hope that we will not only experience Your healing in heaven
but also here and now
we want to be complete in You here and now
we want to experience miracles that draw us closer to You here and now
enlarge our faith so we would see Your promises fulfilled in our lives

we can only look to You for there's no one else who would be able to help us any better
we can only cry out to You for You see every tear flown out of our hearts
You know and You understand
Give us hope, give us trust, give us faith, give us light

prayer for the broken hearted

dear God,

i entrust them into Your hands
You know how hard and the pains that they are going thru
the false accusations, words that stab into the heart
because they are from those they love, treasure, and cherish
besides You, there's none other who can help them
only You can resolve whatever pain and hurt they are facing
You know of the problems in their past
the pains from their families or society

O Lord, tear down the strongholds of the evil one
tear down the strongholds of their lives from sin, burdens, hurt, pain
free them so they can soar upon Your promises and Your Truths

take them into Your care
help us not to worry as You commanded
for Your hands are strong
Your arms embrace and will not let them go

Hold them Lord, hold them...
Watch over them
Protect them
by Your power, by Your blood

Amen
