Prayer for Physical Strength
Dear God,
I thank you for the strength that you give me and please help me to use it wisely. Please protect me from those who wish to harm me or my family. Give us courage on this journey we are about to make, and help us find peace in our hearts as we go through a difficult time. Forgive us for our sins so that we can move forward into a better life filled with hope, love and acceptance of others around us who may not be like us in every way but are still great people with good intentions toward others like ourselves!
Prayer for Spiritual Strength
Prayer is the most powerful tool you have. It will help you fight temptation, resist giving up and stay strong through the trials you face. Here is a prayer for strength that I wrote last week:
“Dear Lord, thank You for all the blessings in my life. Thank You for my family and friends who have been there when I needed them most. Thank You for giving me guidance during these trying times.”
“Lord, please give me strength as I fight against temptation today so that I may stay on Your path of righteousness.”
A Prayer for Direction
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
I pray for strength today. Not just physical strength but mental and spiritual strength as well. For no matter how strong we are physically it is our hearts that sustain us through life’s struggles. And when we are weak in faith or hope or love or joy (or any combination thereof), we need an extra dose of each one to get through our days with grace and dignity intact.
In addition to these requests for myself—that I may have enough strength of mind and body to do what needs doing—I ask for a greater capacity for compassion: for those who hurt others intentionally; for those who hurt themselves unintentionally; for those whose intentions are unclear or unspoken altogether; but most importantly: compassion on myself so that I may not give up hope in my own capacity to be better than I am now even though sometimes it seems like all there is room inside my heart is emptiness with some anger thrown in here and there.
God, Grant Me the Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer is a well-known prayer that has been around since the 1940s. The prayer was written by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and aims to give strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of evil, faith in the presence of uncertainty, and hope for when everything seems hopeless. It has also been used as a reminder for peace of mind, self-acceptance and balance.
These prayers can help you strengthen your resolve in hard times.

Short Prayer For Strength During Difficult Times
Jehovah Rapha, My prayer before Your throne of grace and mercy is that You would protect me from the evil and cruelty of this world.
Father in Heaven, I need your help. I’m so exhausted from struggling against the challenges God has set before me.
But I have faith that I will come out of this experience a better, stronger, wiser, and more equipped follower of You.
I trust that the Lord will see me through this difficult time just as he has all the others. God, please give me the insight to figure out how to handle this situation and the challenging people in it.
Let me know what to say and write. Grant me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent. I ask this in the name of Jesus, amen.
Scriptural Reference: Philippians 4:13 Through him who gives me strength, I can accomplish anything.
Verse 9-10 of 2 Corinthians “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” he told me. So that Christ’s power may be made perfect in my weakness, I will boast all the more gladly about those weaknesses. For Christ’s sake, I consider it pure joy to suffer weakness, insult, hardship, persecution, and difficulty. Because my weakness is my strength.
Prayer For Strength And Guidance
Holy God, I pray to you now for divine inspiration and assistance. I’m in a bind and could use some help staying on the straight and narrow. I have a heavy burden on my chest, but I will do my best to keep my focus on you, for I know that you will guide me with your infinite wisdom to the right answer. I appreciate you listening to my pleading and then sticking around. Amen.
