I need God when my heart is overwhelmed

Psalm 61: 1 – 2 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. ²From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

...when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Perhaps there are days Lord when Michelle feels overwhelmed. I know about those days and I have come to know that you Lord God are only a heart cry away. Remind Michelle of her need for you and your willingness to hear and answer us when we call. Thank you for being our God. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen

Prayer to God for Strength

Psalm 38: 10 My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

The words of the old hymn come to mind Father.



I need thee,


O I need thee,


Every hour I need thee.


O bless me now my Savior,


I come to thee.


Stir up in Michelle the hunger and thirst for you. Thank you for being able to provide and supply all of her needs, according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Amen.

A prayer of confidence in God

Dear Father, Thank you for the example of our Lord Jesus Christ who showed us what to do in times of trial, persecution and distress. Help us to call upon you, cry out to you, and commit ourselves to you. In those times when it seems like we can’t do anything right. On those days when it seems that no one understands or is our side, cause us to remember, cause Michelle to remember that Jesus found His strength, His will to continue doing what you sent Him to do in crying out. You are our very present help in time of trouble. Thank you again Lord. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

O Father, how we need to humble ourselves at your throne. You are merciful and gracious to allow us entrance to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Remind us all of the holiness and maturity that you expect from us. Remind us how that honors you and shows our gratitude for redemption. Bless us now that we may be pleasing in your sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
