Speaker 0The title of our prayer time , this five minute , is praying for hope and strength during anxiety . You know social anxiety is so strong . You know anxiety is so strong , feeling the dread and doubt and everything that goes along with life . So , without further ado , let's get straight into prayer . In the name of Jesus . We're coming from the beautiful book of Philippians , chapter 4 , verses 6 through to 7 , that beautiful , famous text that hits us so well in our hearts . Do not be anxious about anything , father . In the name of Jesus , I pray that anxiety will go today . Lord , as anxiety tries to rise itself in my heart today , I come against that , lord , simply through the gospel of Jesus Christ . And Lord , help me to be more faithful in anxious times . Help me , lord , not to feel hopeless in anxious times . Help me , lord , through the power of the word of God , whether I'm at work , whether I'm at home , whether I'm at home , whether I'm on a commute , whether I'm on a school run , whatever I am doing , as a Bible-believing believer , father , will you help me not
to be anxious . Lord , take the feeling of being scared away , scared from uncertain days , scared of the storm of life , scared of living and scared of dying . Spirit of the living , god , give me peace in anxious times .
Speaker 0In the name of Jesus , father , we pray for hope when we're feeling lost and when we're feeling tired . Lord , will you take this tiredness away from me ? Lord , will you take this weight , this way , that I feel in my bones today ? Jesus , spirit of the living God , lord , my body's aching with fear , my body's aching with anxiety , my body's aching with the stress of money , with the stress of living . Lord , will you help my heart to calm down .
Speaker 0Lord , my mind is racing Anxiety today . Lord is high . Lord , I feel despair . Lord , I feel a place where I've hit this place , like Jesus , lord , when I think of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane , when I think that Jesus hit a place of sorrow . Lord , for those that have hit a point of sorrow , will you strengthen us in the name of Jesus . Father , for those that have hit a place of despair , for those that have hit a place of uncertain days , will you strengthen us and lead us in the name of Jesus . Lord , give us strength in difficult times . Will you bring peace to our heart .
Speaker 0Lord , right now and , father , where we're not sleeping very well , lord , we know that sleep is needed in the name of Jesus . So , father , we pray , lord that sleep , lord , will be right in our bones , that we will rest well , lord , that we will recover . So , lord , give us the correct amount of sleep . In the name of Jesus , father , we're praying that we will overcome fear . We will overcome fear in the name of Jesus , and we're pressing through prayer and we're pressing through as brothers and sisters today . And , lord , we thank you that mental health is dissolving
. In the name of Jesus . Lord , our thoughts , lord , cleanse our thoughts , cleanse our minds . Spirit of the living God , we come to you today and we're praying , lord for anxiousness to go . So , father , through the book of Philippians , 4 , verses 6 and 7 , you're telling us not to be anxious about anything , but in every situation , by prayer and petition , we bring our request to God , right now , in the name of Jesus , and you tell us God , you tell us clearly in your , and the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds . Spirit of the living God , guard our heart , guard our mind , guide our thought pattern , guide us and lead us and strengthen us .
Speaker 0In the name of Jesus , lord , we pray for those that are feeling hopeless in a time of grief , in a time of loss .
Speaker 0We pray for those that feel really sad today , that feel really stressed out and sad and tired and weary . We pray for those , lord , that even can't get out of the bed because depression is so strong , anxiety is so powerful , those that have just had to click out of life itself . Father , we pray , lord , that you will bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet , lord , and we thank you that your peace surpasses all understanding , your presence surpasses all fear . So , lord , I pray that we will be brothers and sisters that get more into the scripture . And , lord , will you lead us today , will you guide us with peace . We pray for peace over our lives and this will be the day that the Lord has made . We shall rejoice and be glad . So we pray for hope and strength during anxious and worrying
times .
