A prayer for depression

Heavenly Father,

I come before You, weary and burdened, struggling under the weight of this darkness. You are the God of all comfort, the One who sees every tear and knows every unspoken sorrow. Lord, in the midst of this heaviness, remind me that I am not alone.

Lift my spirit, O God, and fill my heart with Your peace. When my mind is clouded with despair, shine Your light into my soul. When hope feels distant, draw me close to You. Help me to rest in Your presence, knowing that You are my refuge and strength, even when I feel weak.

Give me the courage to reach out, the strength to hold on, and the faith to believe that joy will come again. Surround me with Your love and with people who will walk this journey with me. Let Your Word be my anchor, Your promises my foundation, and Your love my healing.

In the name of Jesus, who bore our sorrows and gives us peace, I pray.

Amen.

Prayer for When You’re Frustrated with Your Job

Remind me that I work not just for others, but ultimately for You. Give me the strength to persevere, the grace to handle frustrations well, and the faith to trust that You are guiding me through this season. Amen.

Psalm 145:8 prayer- When angry

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love. In moments when my heart is stirred with frustration or anger, help me to reflect Your patience and kindness. Teach me to be slow to anger, just as You are, responding with grace rather than wrath.

When I feel wronged, remind me of Your mercy. When I am tempted to react harshly, fill me with Your Spirit, that I may choose love over rage, peace over resentment. Let my words and actions reflect Your character, bringing healing instead of harm.

Lord, I surrender my emotions to You. Transform my heart so that even in difficult situations, I mirror Your grace and compassion. Thank You for Your unending love that covers my shortcomings and teaches me a better way.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer when tempted

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving us Jesus, our great High Priest, who understands our weaknesses and was tempted in every way, yet without sin. In our struggles, we come boldly to Your throne of grace, knowing that in Christ, we find mercy and help in our time of need.

Lord, strengthen us to resist sin and lean wholly on Jesus. When we are weak, remind us that He intercedes for us, offering the grace we need to stand firm. Fill us with Your Spirit, renew our hearts, and lead us in righteousness, that we may walk in obedience and reflect Your glory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen

Praying the Psalms - Ps. 95

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of praise and thanksgiving. You are the great God, the King above all gods. The depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains are in Your hands; the sea is Yours, for You made it, and Your hands formed the dry land.

Lord, we bow before You in worship and humility. You are our Maker, and we are the people of Your pasture, the sheep under Your care. Help us to hear Your voice today and not harden our hearts. Keep us from wandering in unbelief and lead us in the way of trust and obedience.

Fill us with joy as we sing to You, and strengthen our faith as we walk in Your ways. May our lives reflect the honor and glory due to Your name.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
