Prayer in times of need

The Power of God

God the Almighty is the power of my life:

I need not be anxious or afraid.
God is a fortress about me:
I need not be overcome.
I dwell in his presence:
Nothing can take him from me.
He hides me in his shelter:
When troubles are about me.
He offers me his help
When I am weak or distressed.
He will never leave or forsake me.
Nothing can separate me from him.
I dwell in his presence,
And he dwells in me.

When it is difficult to pray

O heavenly Father, 
in these few moments of quiet stillness, 
I place myself and all my problems 
humbly before you, 
for your guidance and blessing.


At times of anxiety, say over and over, in time with your breathing:
Jesus Saviour, 
Jesus Lord.


Or

Jesus,
My Lord
And my God.
I give myself to you, 
in joy and sorrow, 
in sickness and in health, 
in success and failure, 
in time and for eternity.
Take me and keep me for your own.
Keep me united with all whom I love, 
now and forever.
Amen.
