Wellbeing & Healing 

"Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

The global pandemic has affected us all in many ways. Due to stress, loneliness, the pressure of their businesses going under, and losing loved ones, people have said to themselves, "what is the point of living?" They cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.  

We have all been there at some point in our lives. Society tells us that when we are feeling overwhelmed by life, we should see a therapist and I’d encourage you to do so, but we must remember to also make our requests known to God, because He is the only one that will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. 

Scripture encourages us to incorporate prayer in order to improve our overall well-being. As you pray, my hope is that your anxiety will lift as you give thanks. 

Please join me in a prayer for healing:

Heavenly Father, help me to trust You when times are rough and when I feel like I cannot cope with life anymore. I pray that you will heal my broken heart, heal my soul from all trauma and past bad experiences, and heal my mind so that I can think clearly and remove every negative thought that comes to contradict the Word of God spoken over my life. Let Jeremiah 29:11 be mine today, as I know that the plans You have for me are to prosper and not to harm me, to give me a hope and future. Amen.
