“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” 1 Pet. 5:7.
Anytime, Anywhere, Any Issue, Any Length Prayers
Confused
Lord Jesus, I don’t know what’s going on inside my heart in this moment. Please center and settle me. I feel confused, weary, and anxious. I hate not knowing what’s next, what to do, and when things might change. Be my peace, take my hand, and lead the way forward.
Facing a Decision
Abba, I have to make this decision sooner than I had hoped. I feel more uncertain than ever about what’s best. Please open doors I can’t shut, and shut doors I can’t open. Guide my steps. Help me trust you more than my decision.
Conflicted
Father of mercies and God of all comfort, please be both of those to me in the coming hours. I’m not sure if I’m more sad or mad. You know my heart, and you know all the details. Bring peace even before you stop the storm.
Children
Jesus, grab the hearts of my children. Make your grace irresistible to them. More than anything else, I want my kids to know you, love you, and serve you. Parenting is exhausting, Jesus.
Marriage
Holy Spirit, please do something fresh in our marriage. I feel lonely, and I’m growing resentful. We’re bored and boring. I want to run away, but I choose to run to you. Please help us. Humble me, gentle me, grace me.
Gratitude
Dear Jesus, thank you for the colors blue and green, the aroma of tangerines, the texture of cheesecake, the sound of waves, the gift of conversation. Please heighten my senses to see your beauty in the Gospel, and everywhere else.
Insomnia
Father, help me and my sleep-light and sleepless friends. Age, stress, bad habits, something else… whatever the cause, give us the rest we need. I will never take the gift of sleep for granted again. Thank you, Lord.
So Very Amen
