Prayer For Trouble Times

Living in the modern world, we are often too busy to find time to take care of our health. It’s difficult to even remember that we need to pray for other people’s troubles. However, God will always listen and help us in times of need.

God of all comfort, our very present help in trouble, be near to me. Look on me with the eyes of your mercy; comfort me with a sense of your presence; preserve me from the enemy; and give me patience in my affliction. Restore me to health, and lead me to your eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer For Strength During Difficult Times

I’ve been praying lately, which is so rare. My prayer life just takes off when there is something wrong in my life, a lot of pressure and anxiety, or something I’m trying to overcome.

My prayer for you today is that you may be completely filled with the Holy Spirit, always striving to please God. I also pray that your days would flow smoothly and that God would provide whatever you need and more.

God of Justice,
as a city, and nation, and world,
we live outside your law:
the law that precludes double standards
and prospers second chances,
the law that shelters the homeless poor
and maintains inalienable rights for the stranger.

Show us power, and wonder, and signs.
Not you, breaking the laws of nature,
but us, breaking open the nature of our laws,
so that the possibility of abundant life
would unseal our covenant with death,
through Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Risen One.
Amen.

Prayer for a New Beginning

  • In the beginning you beamed light that shines in the darkest hour, Light that no darkness could overcome:
  • Pierce the soul of this nation with your light, And enlighten everyone with your divine wisdom.
  • Pierce the soul of this nation with your light,
  • And blind the demons of violence and hate.
  • Pierce the soul of this nation with your light,
  • That our chests draw in hope
  • And our hands grasp with strength
  • And our innards gird with all their might
  • And our hearts pump the lifeblood
  • Of an unlikely, luminous new beginning being born.
  • Amen

A Prayer In Response to Gun Violence

Let us lament with all those who are touched by gun violence
Let us lament the shooter’s choice for violence
Let us lament laws that allow violent men easy access to guns
Let us lament our politicians’ unwillingness to work for change
Let us lament with the hearts broken by loss today
Let us lament all the lives cut short today
Let us lament, O God, and then let us rise from our knees to work for change
In the name of Christ, the prince of peace. Amen.

Lord, in every need let me come to You with humble trust saying, “Jesus, help me.”
In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations, Jesus, help me.
In hours of loneliness, weariness, and trials, Jesus, help me.
In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles, and sorrows, Jesus, help me.
When others fail me and Your grace alone can assist me, help me.
When I throw myself on Your tender love as a father and savior, Jesus, help me.
When my heart is cast down by failure at seeing no good come from my efforts, Jesus, help me.
When I feel impatient and my cross irritates me, Jesus, help me.
When I am ill and my head and hands cannot work and I am lonely, Jesus, help me.
Always, always, in spite of weakness, falls, and shortcomings of every kind, Jesus, help me and never forsake me.
Amen.
