" Lord, help me to live in Your joy and peace. Give me strength and understanding to resist anxiety, anger, envy, depression, bitterness, hopelessness, loneliness, fear, and guilt. Rescue me when my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed ( Psalm 143:4 ). I refuse to let my life be brought down by negative emotions such as these. When I am tempted to give in to them, show me Your truth. You have said in Your Word that by our patience we can possess our souls ( Luke 21:19 ). Give me patience so I can do that. Help me to keep my heart with all diligence, for I know that of it spring the issues of life ( Proverbs 4:23 ). "
I hope this prayer can bring encouragement, hope, peace of mind, strength, and understanding, to each one of you, who are going through any struggles like this. I send you all my blessings, and know that I and other's are here for you. I hear all your words, and I listen and pray for you all.
