Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Inspiration.
” God is our ever-present comfort, help and guidance that is why we should always seek Him.”
” We are emotional beings and sometimes we can have difficulty controlling our emotions – our feelings.
God tells us that we should not get anxious about anything, instead pray about everything, and He will guard us, and give us His peace.
” Even though things may be in turmoil around us, the Lord wants to calm our minds, our hearts and our anxieties.
And give us His peace, so that we can be calm and confident because the Lord is with us, so we do not need to worry and fret.
So let the Lord guard your heart and mind.
Just take everything to the Lord in prayer.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
To You I will come, early will I seek You.
In the morning, noon, and night, You will hear my voice, and I will look to You for help, guidance, hope, peace, comfort and victory.
Thank You Lord God, for Your Infinite loving kindness, Your tender mercies and compassions to me.
You are God and there is no other, but You.
And You understand me when no one else does.
You know everything about me.
You know all about my concerns, my distress, my emotions, my everything.
So I will seek You with all my heart, soul and mind, and bring everything to You in prayer.
Lord Jesus, You are my comfort in times of distress and when I get emotional.
O Lord, You made me with these emotions, so I ask for Your help to control my emotions.
I also ask for Your comfort in times of distress and problems, and when I do not understand what is happening.
Help me to look to You, have faith in You, trust in You, and hope in You.
And call on the name of “Jesus” when I am in any distress.
Help me to always remember to say ” Jesus help me.” Jesus save me.”
“Jesus protect me” Jesus guide me.” “Jesus be with me.”
Help me to always pray and seek You with all my heart, my soul, my mind and my strength.
Because You a just a prayer away, and You are always there to save, to help, to protect and to guide me in every situation.
I give You thanks and praise now and forever, for what You have done for me, and will do for me for my good.
I love, adore You, O Lord God Almighty and Lord Jesus, my Saviour.
In Your precious name, I pray. Amen.

What a Friend we have in Jesus.
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer!
