Prayers

Anxiety

God,

I come before You to surrender my fear and anxiety to You. When my fears and worries crush me, remind me of Your power and grace. Fill me with Your peace as I put my trust in You and only You. I know I can't do it alone, but I also know I have You, Lord, and You have already paid the ultimate price to bear my burdens.

I thank you for this, Amen.

Community

Lord of the Light,

I hope that my community will be united. Assist me in being an instrument of Your peace. Assist us in the city in working together to resolve issues that affect us all. Help us work together effectively to overcome health issues and prejudice. May we each bring our experiences and expertise to the table and collaborate to find solutions. Assist us in listening well, empathizing, and brainstorming the best path for our city.

Amen.

For Her

Father,

Please help me to be a capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman – one who is faithful, diligent, generous, and spiritually strong. May the law of love and kindness live on in my heart and on my tongue forever.

Amen, in the name of Jesus.

Covenant Relationships

I know You hear me, Father. And I know You see me during this time of year. Lord, I know You are the ideal friend. That You are always present, that You are always listening, that You are always pursuing. But, Father, I also understand that You have placed me on Earth at this time for a reason. I understand that Your word calls me to live in community and to encourage others in their faith.

God, I need those people to encourage and motivate me. I'm looking for godly friends who can encourage and guide me. I need a community, Lord.

Father, I humbly ask You to guide me to these people. Lead me to friends who love You and will love me in return! Lead me to a community with which I can share my life. Help me to fully seek You and rely on You during this time. Help me to remember that You are truly enough for me and that You want to show me that even when I am lonely.

God, I have faith in You.
