Prayers for Strength

Strengthen and comfort me as I live without the relationship that distracted me from you

Father,

Forgive me for putting other relationships before you. I ask that you would strengthen and comfort me as I live without the relationship that distracted me from you. Although I learned a lot about you while in the relationship, I thank you in advance for what I will learn in this time of separation.

With love,

Your heartbroken

Give me strength to love for you

Jesus – 

Meet me here . . . dwell in me Lord, I want to be a clean, holy, worthy vessel for you. Jesus, give me strength to love for you, to confide in you, to love on you alone. That is the true desire of my heart, to live for you. Keep that desire deeply rooted in me Lord.

Grow discipline and strength in my heart

Jesus kill the apathy in me. Grow discipline and strength in my heart so that your way becomes clear to me.

Love yours

I cant's keep on by myself

 Please Father,

Hear my cries to you. Enter my heart, body, and mind. Take this life from me and make it new. Take my broken heart and mend it because I can’t do this on my own anymore. I can’t keep pretending that I am healed when I am not. My soul is weary God and I know I can’t keep on by myself. Strengthen me God. I am yours. I love you.

Be my refuge from the storm of fear

I thirst to be obedient to You. My prayer is that I am strengthened when the enemy attacks so that my life doesn’t stray from you. I will do what you lead me to. My pride or misunderstanding will not lead me to disobey. You are all I have to please. You will deal with the consequences of my obedience to you. Lord, you are smarter than I am. As much as I may not know why, I will trust you. Continue to feed me. Allow me to feed others. Be my refuge from the storm of fear. I know you will.

I KNOW

Please give me strength and peace in the daily struggles

Lord,

Thank you for your continuous comfort, shelter, and strength! Thank you for the wisdom and love that you teach. Please give me strength and peace in the daily struggles. I know nothing is impossible through you. Thanks for the sunshine and nice weather today, it was beautiful! Thank you for this

May I walk in tune with your spirit's guiding

Father God,

I’ve felt a roller coaster of emotions these past two weeks, and sometimes I can’t seem to tell up from down. I am so grateful for the work you’re doing in my heart, but PLEASE give me the strength I need to get through the loneliness and fears of the future. You are in control, that I believe! Just please give me the strength to commit myself to your arms each and every day. May I walk in tune with your spirit’s guiding.

Amen.

Strip me of me and fill me with your Holy Spirit

Glory to God

Jesus

Let me be a faithful seed to grow your kingdom. Strip me of me and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I pray for the boldness, zeal, and [fervor?] of your apostles in Acts. More in me Jesus. All the Honor, Glory, and Power to You, my King.

A faithful servant

I don't want to hide anymore

My God, father & friend

I feel so alone… I feel like I have no friends. God take away my jealousy & selfishness. You alone can only fill my heart, give me love & patience. I get hurt so easily. Give me strength. I don’t want to hide anymore. Bring me a friend, someone I can hold onto. Someone who can hold onto me.

Keep my ____ safe & let ____ live out her life as long as you want Lord. I know she will be happier w/ you, but she gives me strength. Lord I need to be broken.
