Prayer for strength in uncertain times
Dear God,
You remind us in your Word that we never have to give in to fear or worry in this life. The enemy wants us to be stuck there, but you have given us the key to overcome the enemy’s lies and overcome the traps. Thank you for your powerful prayer weapons and your words. Thank you for setting us free through the gift of the cross of Christ. Thank you for the Spirit who still dwells within us and gives us peace. No matter what we face in life and in this world, you assure us that you will always be with us. When everything seems unstable and uncertain, we choose to rely on you. We know that you alone are sovereign and that you hold everything in your hands. We trust you even if we can’t see what you’re doing. We know that You will make a way for those of us who seem to have no way. For you are our rock and our refuge, and you are quick to help us in time of need. Help me not to be easily swayed by headline news, defeat, and disappointment. Strengthen our spirits from the depths of our hearts so that we may walk in Your freedom, truth and peace today. We believe that you are greater than anything we face in this world and that no weapon fashioned against us will succeed. Build barriers and defenses around our lives, dear Lord, protect us and keep us close to You.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
