Prayer for stress and feeling overwhelmed

Lord,

I come to your throne broken, tired and exhausted, knowing that you are the God over my life. I thank you for your goodness to me despite the storm, and I trust in your role as my protector, provider and source of comfort. Father, I don’t understand everything going on around me, or why I feel a certain way at times, but I do know that the peace of Jesus Christ surpasses all understanding. Lord you tell me in your word that I should cast all of my care onto you and you will replace the conflict in my heart with your perfect peace and love. When I come before you, I know I can receive grace, strength and wisdom to get through my daily life. Please help me to devote time daily to you so that you can mould be each day to be more like You and less like me. Restore my soul so that I will be able to represent your Kingdom to the highest level without feeling negatively about the life you have blessed me with. God you never leave me, and your love never fails. Enable me to trust in you even when I want to give up and to persevere, the same way your Son Jesus did on the cross.

In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

  

Matthew 11:28-30
