Prayers for Hard Emotions: A 5-Day Devotional by Asheritah Ciuciu预览

ANXIOUS

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

PSALM 121:1–2

RECITE GOD’S GOODNESS

My Maker and Helper, You hear me when I cry out to You. You are the One who comes quickly to my rescue. Thank You for being close to me when I’m troubled. You alone can quiet me with Your presence; Your light dispels my darkness.

EXPRESS YOUR NEEDINESS

Lord, when terror and doom suffocate the life out of me, would You lift me
out of the pit of despair? Help me fix my attention on You instead of on the surrounding circumstances. Help me remember how You’ve been faithful in the past and trust You to be my helper even now.

SEEK HIS STILLNESS

Take a few moments to become aware of God’s loving presence surrounding you this very moment. Let Him quiet your anxious thoughts with His lovingkindness.

TRUST HIS FAITHFULNESS

Lord, You have always been faithful. Never once have you abandoned me. I need only to become more aware of Your constant presence by my side. When worries fester within me, help me cast my cares on You, knowing that You’ve always cared for me. I trust You to take care of these situations and to fill me with Your peace.
