Prayer: Lord, I’m facing that which seems bigger than my ability to handle it. I give it over to you, remind my mind of what my soul always knows: You are ultimately in charge here and have already overcome all that I feel is overcoming me.
Prayer: Jesus, you have experience every emotion. Give us insight and victory over all the false evidence that appears real and scares us in life. Help us lean into you, replace all our fear with faith remembering that you have our back.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to live beyond fear. To remember the spirit that you have given me that stands always in the space of truth, power, love and a sound mind. You are my victory over fear.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for leaving us with so many directives from the first followers that give us guidelines for life. Help us to wait upon you and the power of the Holy Spirit within us to guide us where you want us to go. Have your way with us in spite of ourselves.
Prayer: Lord, guide me into the training ground so that I am prepared for the trials in life. Help me to live in the thrill of the surrendered life so that my knowing that you are with me overrides all fear, self-doubt and worry.
Prayer: Lord, show me how to take back the power I give to other people’s behavior. It is for freedom that you have set me free. This Lent I want you to guide me into the freedom from the attachments I have made to this world like caring so much about what people think and do. Help me to let them and let you show me how you want me to navigate through it all.
Prayer: Lord you are sovereign. I give you permission to shift my focus from the things of the world back to you alone, knowing, as St. Augustine declared, when I love you above all, I can do as I please.
