Dear Lord,Open our eyes to your providence.Help us to see all of the ways that you are helping us.Teach us to focus on you rather than our problems.We choose to count on you and we offer ourselves afresh to you.May your kingdom come in these difficult days.And your will to be done through us.That Jesus might be honored in us.Amen
Lord Jesus,You came into the world to heal our infirmities and to endure our sufferings.You went about healing all and bringing comfort to those in pain and need.We come to you in this time of illness and suffering.Be the source of our strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain.May we join ourselves more closely to your suffering on the cross.Help us to draw our patience and hope from the resurrection.Assist us and restore us to health, that we may give witness to your power.In all things, and at all times, we praise you and give you thanks.Amen
Dearest God,AmenI come to you in prayer, asking for help.
I have allowed bitterness to grow in my life.Jealousy and envy have taken hold of me.
Please guide my heart to love those who have hurt and harmed me.
Though my wounds are deep, help me to forgive and to love.
In your name I forgive and release those who have sinned against me.I declare your love for them and ask that I might love them like you love.
All glory is unto you Lord.
I come before you, O Lord.
As the sun rises, may your hope rise up in me.
As the birds sing, let your love flow out of me.
As the light floods into this new day, may your joy shine through me.
I come before you, O Lord and drink in this moment of peace.
Help me to carry something of your hope, love, and joy today in my heart.Amen.
Lord, please be with the rescue workers and keep them safe as they make heroic efforts in dangerous situations to rescue those in trouble.Lord, please be with everyone waiting to be rescued, keep them safe, and bring help to them soon.God, bless each and every person affected by this storm and surround them with Your love, protection, and angels.Let them know there are millions of us out here praying for them and their loved ones.We give You all the praise and glory forever, Lord, and know that even in the darkest hours, You are always with us.Amen
Lord,I am weary and don’t know when this “race” will end in my life.I feel like I’ve been running forever, trying to outrun this trial.Help me to stop trying to outrun my painbut rather run with endurance the race you have set before me.I know that because of you I am ultimately a victor over the trials in my life.I know that nothing in this world can separate me from your steadfast love.Please give me a measure of your love today;give me the strength to endure this trial.Thank you for your love for me that never ends!And thank you for the crown of joy that awaits me forever in your Kingdom!Amen

Dear God,I come before You to lay my panic and anxiety at Your feet.
When I’m crushed by my fears and worries, remind me of Your power and Your grace.
Fill me with Your peace as I trust in You and You alone.
I know I can’t beat this on my own, but I also know that I have You, Lord, and You have already paid the ultimate price to carry my burdens.For this I thank you, Amen.
