Are you feeling a bit rattled lately? Or maybe you’re running out of steam. You know what you have to do, but you’re tempted to give up. It all just seems like too much sometimes, right?

Remember, you don’t get anywhere by doing everything at once. The work, trials, suffering and actions are all part of the journey. And each step is another opportunity to trust more in God.

When things get shaky, take a moment and stop. Look at the big picture. Think about God’s plan for salvation in your life. Get things done, one-by-one, and move forward. If you don’t get to it all, keep going. Don’t give up trying. Your effort counts.

Seek the Lord with intensity. Cry out to him and he will deliver all you need.

PRAYER TO STAY ON TRACK

Oh heavenly Lord,

I know what I must do, but I feel unsteady. I’m tempted to give up. Won’t you help me?

Pour over me, oh Lord, your mercy and goodness. Reveal to my heart once again how much you love me.

Open the memory of my soul. Remind me how Christ came to lift me out of sin and set me free in life.

Give me confidence in the Spirit that guides me and goes before me to cast out the enemy and prepare the way.

Give me a steady mind and courage like steel to face the challenges here, today, now.

Jesus is the Way, The Truth and the Life.

May I follow and glorify him, my King, my Lord.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Feeling down and out? Sometimes the daily grind leaves you with a lights-out feeling. The enemy wants to isolate you and bring you down, but God wants to set you free. Why not get a spiritual jump start?

Getting renewed doesn’t mean you have to be more religious. Instead, it means digging deeper into relationships. First, with Jesus, then with others. So seek activity where you will interact with people and grow. Join a group, get outside, anything… but move forward.

Even if you don’t have much time, you can still be creative. For instance, instead of the same old dinner routine, why not eat by candle-light? Or rather than browsing on your phone, give a friend a surprise call and set up time for coffee. Even small gestures can make a difference. So stop, pray and ask God to open up your creative side. You might be surprised what you discover inside you!

PRAYER TO GET OUT OF A RUT

Oh merciful Lord,

I feel like I’m stuck, nothing motivates me, everything’s the same. Where is my joy?

Help me change, oh Lord, bring Christ closer to me. He shows me how to see with new eyes and a new heart the wonders you give me.

Let it begin with people, with those I encounter at home and in new places where I can share your Gospel and your love.

Renew my perspective. Show me the fresh brilliance of your glory, oh Lord, in everything everywhere.

May your Holy Spirit renew my soul.

In Jesus name I pray,

Who doesn’t want to think more clearly? Some of the things today that cause poor concentration are not enough sleep, lack of exercise and too much time on devices.

Still, sometimes life is just full of responsibility you can’t avoid. In every situation, your intimacy with God makes a difference. When you stop to pray, God helps to organize your thoughts. He even reminds you of things you might have forgotten about. Also, as you pray for upcoming events, the Spirit prepares you to deal with them.

Finally, the closer you are to Jesus, the more confidence you have. In the end, prayer can actually save you time. It enables you to make decisions faster, and it invokes the Spirit to move.

So seek God’s Kingdom. Let the Lord take care of the heavy lifting.

PRAYER FOR A CLEAR MIND

Oh loving Lord,

My mind is tangled up. I can’t focus. I’m confused. I need your help, oh Lord.

Send me your Holy Spirit to establish your order. May your Kingdom come and your will be done In my heart, mind and life.

Help me to give up control Into your hands, my Lord.

Let me not be afraid, as you cleanse my soul with the blood of the Lamb of God.

Give me meaning and clarity despite this troubled world.

In Jesus I am steady and free, my spirit at home.

May I focus on heaven, as my Savior comes soon.

I pray for this in Jesus name,

Amen.

With or without faith in God, life comes with challenges. But when your faith is strong, you gain a deeper peace and confidence. Plus, the Lord gives you guidance in every area of your life.

We can all benefit from stronger faith, but how do you get it? You don’t have to be a hero. Instead, the sincerity of your heart matters. If you’re looking for easy or magical solutions, you won’t strengthen your faith.

To be strong, you have to eat healthy. The food Jesus fed upon was the will of his Father. God wants us to love, forgive and serve, and Jesus is our example. If you do your best to follow him, there is no doubt your faith will grow stronger.

PRAYER FOR A STRONG FAITH

Oh blessed Lord,

I want to praise, honor and glorify you, but my faith is weak.

Help me please, strengthen my faith. Let me give myself up to you.

Teach me, oh Lord, how to love you more, how to love myself more, and how to love others even when it hurts.

Let my faith grow strong in obedience to your teaching to love, serve and forgive.

Reveal to my heart this most excellent way.

I can’t do it alone. May your Spirit to work in me according to your will.

For there I find meaning, there I find feeding for my hungry soul.

I ask in Jesus name,

Amen.

The world is full of negativity these days, and it affects us all. The reality is that times are tough. It’s hard to find meaning and truth sometimes.

The more you develop your relationship with Jesus, the more you understand our complicated world. Also, you understand yourself more. Christ is the key to stay positive, even in the worst situations.

Another thing that leads to negativity or depression is being alone. Remember, the Christian faith is a faith of community. Be a part of your church. Don’t expect the people you find there to be perfect — instead, love them for their humanity. And rejoice with the Body of Christ knowing that all things will be well.

PRAYER TO STAY POSITIVE

Oh merciful Lord,

Negativity and noise try to bring me down and isolate me. So I call out to you now.

In the name of Jesus, cast out the enemy and his lies telling me everything is over, and there is no hope.

Fill me with the Spirit of God telling me I am loved, washed clean and reborn in Christ.

May I be steady and quick. Let my faith deflect the enemy’s attack. Strike him down with your Word, oh mighty Lord.

I rejoice in my weakness as it brings me to your feet. A place of glory. A place of rest.

Make it this way for me, oh loving Lord,

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

In today’s world, spirituality has become a commodity. Everybody is offering spirituality-in-a-box. So we encounter a lot of tips, tricks, methods and quick solutions. The great mystery to spiritual growth might be that it’s not so much of a mystery at all. It’s simply recognizing God is in action at all times.

The most important part of spiritual growth isn’t special knowledge. A humble and willing attitude is all you need. God doesn’t want a change of conduct. Instead, he wants to change your heart.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He motivates you to get to know Jesus more. This relationship produces blessings in your life for yourself and others. As truth of the resurrection conquers your heart and mind, you give up more control to God. In his hands, your spirit soars free.

Is there deep trouble in your life right now? Are you facing many trials at once? When the storm comes raging, it’s tempting to think all is lost. But wait… and remember.

Go back to the bedrock of your faith. Remember who Jesus is and what he has done for you. Remember who he is — the Son of God — your Savior. Seek shelter in his grace to give you calm and guide your actions.

You won’t find absolute rest in how people treat you or react. A situation won’t give you lasting comfort. Instead, trust in the owner and giver of true peace. After the storm passes, there will be fallen tress and debris, but your faith will remain. It will grow deeper and stronger. Trust in this process.

PRAYER FOR CALM IN THE STORM

Send your Spirit to show me that no mater what happens my soul is at rest in the love and mercy of Christ Jesus.

Even though we all want to be free, sometimes we forget about a crucial question about freedom. If you are free, what do you do with your freedom? If you could do whatever you want, what would you do? Our answers sometimes reveal that our inner struggles are really what keep us enslaved.

The liberty we find in Christ isn’t the kind of freedom the world tries to sell us. It’s not about power or temporary pleasures. Instead, it’s about a deep trust in our Creator. It’s the security of knowing that even though you’ve made mistakes, you are forgiven 100%. You can start again as the Lord makes all things new.

Remember, your freedom came at great cost. So use your freedom to spread love and mercy. Use it to show others they can be free too.

PRAYER TO BREAK FREE

Then from there, from a place of grace, guide me to where you wish to lead me.

Reveal your truth to me, the truth that tells me I am loved, forgiven and Christ lives in me.

Feeling run down and tired? Maybe you have a lot of responsibilities, or you might be facing a crisis. Many times, the problem is mental fatigue. You’re tired of worrying and dealing with problems all the time. It’s even harder when a lot of the burden rests on your shoulders alone.

One great thing about faith in God is how he can turn the tables on any situation. He brings us help and relief when we least expect it.

Maybe even more amazing is how the Spirit of God renews us even before our situation changes. He gives us new energy and insight. In many cases, the right attitude alone makes a huge difference. Suddenly, distances seem shorter, and you figure things out will less stress. The Holy Spirit reveals things to you that you never saw before.

In the face of difficulty, living joyfully is a true miracle. So pray for the gift of seeing things from a heavenly perspective. Be renewed in the love of Christ.
